Filled Map single color appearing differently
I have the below filled map, have simplified it and made everything the same color but the map appears different in some of the zip codes. Why would it be behaving this way and how can I change it? I've tried different themes and settings, but I'm hitting a brick wall.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi @tc_PNW ,
A filled map uses shading or tinting or patterns to display how a value differs in proportion across a geography or region.
Based on your screenshots, I think the color difference may be caused by the Legned field.

Hi Everybody,
This might be useful for somebody who is also seeing this inconsistent color shading on a filled map. My county which was shaded different, had a trailing space behind it. Removing it got rid of the shading problem. Unsure on how this result come from this formatting.

looks like different transparency levels are applied. But this could probably qualify as a bug. If you have a Pro license you can consider raising a Pro ticket at https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/support/pro/
