Date Values showing as a Map Visualization

[CHarding]

Hi there,

Trying to add some dates in to a report i'm making and they seem to be defaulting to blank maps.

I've got these dates shown below that are correctly formatted.

And i've imported the workbook in to Power BI 

But they display as Maps and wont show as dates? (even when changing their visulization...

Any help would be fantastic!

Regards

Hi @CHarding,

From the screesnhots, you only put 'Date Placed' column in the map visual, right? 

In Power BI, we need to drag geo fields to Location, or Latitude and Longitude buckets with the map visual to locate the position. For more information, see: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/power-bi-map-tips-and-tricks
