Map Visual working in one file and not in in an another similar file

I have one file where my map visualization just wont work but is working on another. All seetings are the same.

 

My biggest issue is that I have an on going project on the file where it's not working and I can't just start from scratch.

 

If I start a new project through the file which is not working, the visualization doesn't work.

 

If I open a new file outisde the project am working on, the visualiaztion works ok. Am at a loss on what could be the problem.

 

The >>Use Map and Filled Map visuals>> is already turned on.

Hi @eWise ,

 

There are something different between two Map visuals, as you see in the following image, their title are different, which means data you applied are also different.

Try to keep it same as each other to see if it can work.

At the same time , there are some reasons that may cause this situation, like relationships you created to other tables but with unmatched records.

Thanks @Anonymous for your suggestions. I actually just restarted my Power BI and it started working. Am sure the resources you provided will come in handy.
