Can we talk about data categories? I have some questions and I'd like to hear some comments. I don't know where to find powerbi detailed documentation so I'm posting in the forum for answers:
Here's an image of the section:
Data Categories Menu
Question 1: What does PowerBI define as "Region?" This is listed as "country/region."
In the US, we have regions like the Washington Capital Area(DC/MD/VA) and I'm wondering how I represent regional spatial data in powerBI.
Question 2: What postal code types are supported in PowerBI? Are they US only?
Question 3: Web and Image URLs? I tried to make this work with image urls in my spreadsheet but when I tried to put them in the card visual, they failed to load. Does any one have a sample of how these two data categories should look in the application?
Image URLs in multi-card
Question 4: County, can this be applied to show Oblast(Ukraine/Russia) or Prefecture(Chinese)? There basically the same thing but different terms.
Thanks for the dev references for bing maps.
Here's the image urls again. I couldn't get it to load correctly above:
