Dots on map change color when I upload from desktop to online

anderwdanfis_0-1771960679129.png

I have created my map to have just 2 different colors that are based on formulas in Azure Maps.

When I upload and view it in powerbi online all the dots become one color.

Hi! but are you using some color rule?

Make sure your color rules are based on a measure or calculated column, not on a direct field value. Service sometimes drops formatting when it can't evaluate the logic in the same way Desktop does. Also verify you're using the latest version of the Azure Maps visual...outdated versions have known rendering bugs in Service.

The most reliable solution is to move your color logic into a explicit DAX measure that returns the hex color value, then map that measure to the color field in Azure Maps. Something like:

For example
Dot Color = IF([Your Metric] > threshold, "#FF0000", "#0000FF")


Hope that help!

Hi @anderwdanfis 

This is odd.  Are the colors based on a legend or conditional formatting? Also, have you tried resetting the view to the saved state of the report? Persistent filter is enabled by default so this could have contributed to it. Other than this, a sanitized copy of your pbix (confidential data removed) would  help us figure out what's happening.
