Hi all,
I want to show a map on my dashboard based on x- and y coordinates from my database. It seems to me power bi only works with longitude and latitude. Am I wrong about this ? Anyone knows a solution for this?
An example of x- and y coordinates in my database:
| 194879,558 | 505041,785 |
Thanks for the help!
Solved! Go to Solution.
Here i have to say sorry for this, because we can't do anything with X & Y Axis.
If u have location name , country , region , state ect. and Lat & Lan we can do.
But in your case we can't do am sure .
anyhow u try any custom visuals my dear friend.

I'm not sure how x and y coordinates from your database would possibly work on any map other than whatever one they're designed for. If they aren't longitude and latitude then they must be x and y coordinates on a specific map image, so they wouldn't work on any map that doesn't have the exact same layout and dimensions. Also we have no context for understanding your example coordinates. What point on the Earth do those example coordinates correspond to?
