Full addresses not plotting on map
Anonymous You can use process called geo-coding to change address to lat long coordinates in power bi using APIs from bing or google maps. In your case I would suggest use Google Maps API since you're able to get addresses on it. Here is the article that shows you how to perform get-coding in power bi. It is showing Bing Maps but you can use the same process with Google maps. Once you get lat long make sure columns are defined of that category in power bi desktop.
PowerBI MAPS may have a bug and will somehow not accept the ADDRESS word in the MAPS Location field.
In the query editor try rename your data column header from *Address* to *Adress*
Just had the same problem, with about 7 locations out of 70 not showing up on the map (and being mystified as to why just these were missing). I changed the column name from 'Address' to 'Adress' and BOOM, now they appear. Thank you TONS for posting about this defect.
In case anyone is wondering, as of 12/15/2021, this bug is still present. Had a field named FullAddress with address, city, state, zip code and it wasn't mapping some address correctly. Changed it to "Addres" and per above BOOM, now it works.
