Error: Map and filled map visuals aren't enabled for your org

 

Hi,

 

I am getting the following error message:

vanpraetp_0-1669566708330.jpeg

 

This suddenly appeared after it worked perfectly at first and despite the fact that I have enabled Use Map and Filled Map Visuals.under File -> Options and Settings -> Options -> Global -> Security 

 

Can anyone help me out? Greatly appreciated!

 

Cheers,

Peter

Hi @vanpraetp 

 

Did you sign in your organization account on Power BI Desktop recently? 

 

When a user is signed in on Power BI Desktop, the Map and Filled Map visuals will be enabled or disabled based on their organization’s Admin settings. If a user on Power BI Desktop attempts to view a Map visual when their tenant has not enabled the feature, they will be prompted to ask their admin to enable it. 

 

When a user is not signed in, the visuals will be enabled based on a new setting in File -> Options and Settings -> Options -> Global -> Security named “Use Map and Filled Map Visuals.”

 

This is a feature introduced in Feb 2022. You can find if you have signed in on Power BI Desktop from the top right corner of the application. 

 

For more details, please refer to New settings to enable or disable Map and Filled Map visuals

@vanpraetp Are you certain that map visuals are enabled in the Power BI Service in the Tenant settings?

Hi @Greg_Deckler - In fact, I am not sure what Tenant settings means, as I am just a single user using PBI Desktop. I have the map visuals enabled in the Settings as per below screenshot. The strange thing is that it all worked well and suddenly without identifiable reason it gave the mentioned error.
