How not showing ROW_ID in tool tip using ArcGIS maps

Hello guys,

I created a report using ArcGIS maps in Power BI desktop but when I click a point on the map, it shows "ROW_ID" in tooltip, ROW_ID field doesn't exist in my data table.

How can i remove the ROW_ID field from Tooltip?

Follow the print:

Hi, @JoaoKichel 

 

ROWID:
Each row in a table has a physical address in the data file, and the ROWID pseudo-column returns the physical address of that row. The ROWID value uniquely identifies a row in the table. Since ROWID returns the physical address of the row, use ROWID to show how the row is stored.

 

RowID_Name takes the table as an input parameter and returns the name of the table's ObjectID (or RowID) field. This can be helpful if you want to perform non-versioned edits against a geodatabase table using SQL; however, you must know the name of the ObjectID field in order to insert values into it.

If the table is not registered to the geodatabase, an error message or null value will be returned.

 

There is no way to remove the ROW ID for now. Unfortunately, this is by design. Power BI is now unable to achieve what you need . You can submit an idea for it at https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums and wait for users with the same needs as you to vote for you to help make it happen as soon as possible.

 

This is the relevant document, hope to help you:
