    Hello Pragati11 ,

     

    Thank you for the speedy response. That's indeed what I'm saying. I have the same options in the Data view as you kindly illustrated, yet it's the same. I tried on my personal laptop as well, still nothing. Perhaps it's worth mentioning that I installed Power BI on my work and personal laptops in the past 24 hours.

     

    Here's Power BI's version as well: 

    Version: 2.102.845.0 64-bit (February 2022)

      Hi Anonymous ,

       

      Can you share some sample data here please that you are trying to use on the map visual?

      Also did you try moving anyother fields to the Size section like SALES?

        I tried using other summable fields; unfortunately, it's the same.

         

        I tried with my actual data and other sample datasets, such as the one MS provides in Power BI. Here's the data view in case that helps:
