Fix Incorrect ArcGIS Mapping for Texas Counties
Hi there
I'm new to Power BI. I'm trying to use the ArcGIS maps visulization to show a monetary value associated with each county in the state of Texas. My data source is quite simple, just two columns: County and Value. (County is in the form "Anderson County, Texas").
ArcGIS is doing an awesome job of automatically creating a filled map of the counties. It correctly mapped 253 of the 254 counties.
There are two counties in the state of Texas with very similar names: Smith County and Deaf Smith County. ArcGIS is mapping them both in the same location, so there is one gap in my map of 254.
Is there anyway to override this? I'm not sure how to prompt it better to display correctly. Any advice?
Hi dam5172,
Based on my test in Power BI desktop latest version 2.48.4792.481 64-bit (July 2017), the "Deaf Smith County, Texas" and "Smith County, Texas" will display as two data points within ArcGis map. You can download attached pbix file to test in your environment.
In your scenario, please run the same desktop as ours. Also please try to delete files at this location: C:\Users\<your name>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Power BI Desktop\CEF.
Best Regards,
