Select default value on a map

Hi...I have a map and a card visual and several other visuals which have data of different counties and when I select a county on the map the county would be updated on the card visual and other visuals. Is there any way to display a particular county selected by default and showing all the visuals with value selected? I am using Icon map visual.

Hi @lazy_anarchist

 

Please try the following:

 

Select the desired county on the map to filter other visuals accordingly.

 

Select the View tab. Click on "Bookmarks" to display the Bookmarks pane.

In the Bookmarks pane, click "Add" to create a new bookmark. Rename the bookmark to something meaningful, like "Default County Selection".

You can now use this bookmark to set the default view when the report is opened.

 

If you're still having problems, provide some dummy data and the desired outcome. It is best presented in the form of a table.

Hi, Thanks for repying. I have already been using bookmark as a solution but is there any other way to do it?
I am pasting sample data.
PB_THEA/GU_CountyOrEquivalent.json at main · rohith1509/PB_THEA · GitHub
this is the json file I am using to plot the map using icon map.

Hi @lazy_anarchist 

 

Based on what I've learned about Power BI features and documentation, there doesn't seem to be any other way to solve your problem.
