Hi Anonymous 

Without longitute or latitude information, only information including "Address, City, Zip, State" may be confuzed for there are same names for different "Address, City, Zip, State".

 

To avoid this, please select the any column of columns "Address, City, Zip, State" , select proper type in Modeling->Data category.

 

It is better to add longitute or latitude information, you can search documentation and examples of longitute or latitude and use it in Power BI.

Please find more details here.

    Hi,

     

    I have selected the columns and changed the data type to the proper "Address, City, Zip, State" combination - but still no luck.

     

    Still trying to avoid longitude and latitude data, is there no other way?
