Hi,
I have a hierarchy of geography containing 4 levels. My report has drill-down through each of these geographies and that works well on chart visuals. However, I want to include a custom tooltip which shows the location on a map using X & Y coordinates when hovering over a bar. To achieve this I need the co-ordinates to dynamically change depending upon the hierarchy within the chart.
I have written the below measure which correctly returns the X_Coord and works if I add the measure as a column to a matrix, however it retuns blank when I add the measure to Longitude in the Map visual. I have the equivalent measure for latitude too.
Solved! Go to Solution.
@GettingThere This might not be the most efficient way, but it works:
I stacked all locations in one column so there's only one lat column and one long column, (did this in Power Query).
Then created a measure to filter the new Locations stacked table:

@AllisonKennedy thank you for your suggestion, but it would be misleading for the report viewer. Ideally the coordinates would interact with the hierarchy.

@GettingThere would it suffice to display all the child coordinates when hovering over parent hierarchy?
