Problem with Map not displaying anything

Hey all

 

I'm having a problem with a map visualisation not showing when re-opening a Desktop workbook.

I've correctly formatted the column and had it displaying correctly. I've shut down the workbook, opened it up again and the map visualisation is showing.....nothing.

 

Is there a known problem with this? Really frustrating. I'm working on the December 2017 (2.53.4954.481 64 bit) version so it is as up to date at it can be. I have full internet connectivity. Nothing has changed between closing it down and opening it up again. :smileysad:

 

Many thanks in advance for your responses.

  • I have the same problem. However, in the online version, I can see the map. So what I do is create the visualization in PBI desktop and then publish it and see the result online. This is really frustrating but at least works.

     

    Would be ahppy to know how to solve this for good as it's been like that for months now. I even uninstalled and installed again the PBI desktop without any change.

    I don't reproduce that behavior. Would you mind sharing the problematical pbix file? You can upload it to Onedrive or any web storage and share the download link. Do note to mask sensitive data before uploading.

     

    By the way, what's going on when testing with very simple data like
