Map visualization

I have two problems regarding the map visualization.

 

Problem number 1:
I have a pie chart with records in three possible categories: "permanent", "temporary", "deleted". To this I have added a table, with interaction to the map visualization, which returns me the number of each record in the category.

Problem: If there are 0 records in the category "Deleted", then the map visualization shows me "Empty" -> How do I get this customized? I would like to add a text here "Not available" or something similar?

 

Problem number 2:
I have the same pie chart as described above, only this time the map visualization does not return me the number but the name of the category "Permanent", "Temporary", "Cancelled". However, the first category is always displayed here in visualization - even if I have not selected anything yet pie chart. Here it would be nice that the chart visualization "pops up" only when I display something from the chart. Or insert a condition: "If nothing selected, then empty" or similar?!

 

Does anyone have any ideas?

Hi @GretaMenke -

Prob:1

In Power BI, when there are 0 records in a category, the map visualization shows "Empty". Unfortunately, Power BI doesn't directly allow you to replace "Empty" with custom text. However, you can work around this by creating a measure that returns custom text and then using a card visual or another visual to display it over the map.

Use a custom measure to display "Not available" when there are no records in the "Deleted" category and overlay this on the map visualization with a card visual.

 

 

for Prob: 2
Power BI doesn't directly support conditional visibility of visuals, but you can achieve a similar effect by creating a measure that returns a value only when something is selected in the pie chart. If nothing is selected, the measure will return blank, which can then be used to conditionally show or hide the map visualization.

 

Hope this helps.
