Possible bug with Map visual - simple 3 column table, bubbles disappear

[kcsteele]

Hello,

I'm hoping someone can point out to me what I'm missing here in my understanding of how the Map visual works. I encountered a problem with this visual in one of my projects and I slowly tore down each aspect of the project thinking it had something to do with a relationship, measure or calculated column I was using somewhere. Ultimately I reduced the entire thing to a simple 3 column table with no relationships and it's still happening.

I have a table with 3 columns representing Towns and Counties in a state. Town, County and TownFullAddr. Here is the first 3 rows for an example:

Town	County	TownFullAddress
Abington	Plymouth	Abington, MA, USA 02351
Acton	Middlesex	Acton, MA, USA 01718
Acushnet	Bristol	Acushnet, MA, USA 02743

The whole table is 361 rows. A few towns are repeated due to another column I had which I deleted, which would have made all the rows unique. But the same problem occurred in either situation. The problem is as follows:

1. I have "TownFullAddress" set to "Location". This creates a "bubble" for each town in the state. It works fine.

2. I then set "Town" to the "Legend". This color codes the bubbles so towns each have a unique color. So far so good.

3. As soon as I try to set "County" to "ToolTips", all of a sudden a bunch of the bubbles disappear. Strangely, if I remove that and assign it to "Latitude" or "Longitutde" (just as a test, I know it makes no sense), the same thing happens - bubbles disappear.

4. If I use "County" as the legend, no bubbles disappear. It's only when I use "Town" as legend and "TownFullAddress" as Location. When those two are true, any column I try to apply to "Latitude", "Longitude", "Bubble Size", or "ToolTips" causes a large portion of the bubbles to disappear.

Can anyone explain why this happens?

Hi Liu,

Thanks for your response and tip. I have since moved onto the ArcGIS visual which did not have this problem. However when I get the chance I will try and see if this fixes it. Thanks again for your help!

Hi  @kcsteele ,

Can you put [County] also in "Location", and finally click on the icon to achieve.

If the result does not meet your expectations, can you share sample data and sample output in table format? Or a sample pbix after removing sensitive data.

Best Regards,

Liu Yang
