Hi,
I am new to Power BI and am trying to visualise some data on a Shape Map. I am mapping various types of product installations by Local Government Area across a State territory. I have uploaded data from Excel and created a Shape Map, as shown below.
Using the Field Parameter function, I am trying to add a slicer such that a user can toggle between the 5 different types of upgrades and see the selected measure displayed on the map. I have gotten as far as creating a field parameter and slicer which includes the 5 installation types, and adding the parameter to the 'Colour Saturation' field for the Shape Map (as shown below). However, when I click on any of the 5 upgrade types on the slicer, it does not populate the Shape Map with my data - it is all just one colour.
Can anyone tell me what is going wrong here / how I can resolve this?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Harry
Two years later, I am having the same issue, so it is disappointing not to be able to find a solution. To answer your question, in my case and I'm sure in the original poster's case, yes - the parameters are producing different values for each LGA. When putting this data in a table, it displays correctly, however when changing the visual to a shape map, the data displays completely incorrectly, and never shows any variation between geographical boundaries.
I'm having exactly the same issue. The parameter works fine. When added to the 'Legend' field it actually shows the different values for the selected measure. But the map itself (with the parameter on Color Saturation) is not populated. All values are empty and it seems to lose the relation with my map. Does somebody have a solution for this?
Are the selected parameters actually each producing different values for each of the government areas?
