Map visual not responding to Location and Size
Greetings all,
I'm unable to produce a simple Map Visual in Power BI. I choose the visual, drag the Country field in my dataset to Location, a summable field to size, and for some reason the visual stays the same; just a world map.
I thought the problem is with my dataset, so I tried with the sample dataset provided by MS, to no avail. I checked the data types as well; Country is set to text and the summable field is set to decimal number (also tried whole number). I also changed the Data Category for Country from Uncategorized to Country, still nothing. Below is a screenshot of the view I'm getting:

What version of Power BI are you on?
Try deleting the visual and creating again. This should work.
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:

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 am facing exactly the same problem as Ali_Sh.
