Map bubble size inconsistent between Desktop and Service
I've come across exaclty the same problem recently, have a couple of maps where the bubbles have gone tiny in the service, so I've increased the size to 35 but these now appear massive in desktop! I've got the same issue across 2 or 3 reports with a couple of maps in each.
I think the only change in my case is I recently updated to 2.118.828.0 64-bit (June 2023), seems to have been a problem since then.
Might be an issue in one of the latest updates, then. Hopefully it'll get sorted out soon! I'll try out your solution too, the sizes in the Service are more important than those in the Desktop version after all.
I've also found another solution for now, though it too isn't ideal. The scaling with this solution still isn't the best (now the difference in size is really small), but at least it's better than the tiny and giant dots for such closely matched values! Here's the setp-by-step for my temporary solution:
- Open the report in the Power BI Service
- Click on Edit in the taskbar above the report
- Navigate to the faulty map visual, and select it
- Under the formatting tab, open the Bubbles category
- There should be an additional option here that isn't present in the Desktop version: Range scaling. By default, this was set to Data Range. Setting it to Magnitude and adjusting the size got me this result:
Ther bubbles are now pretty close in size for all values, but they are still distiguishable enough to be useful.
