Unwanted Blinking/Refreshing Behavior Between Map Visuals in Power BI Desktop.

Hi Power BI Community,

I hope this message finds you well. I'm currently facing an unusual issue in Power BI Desktop and would greatly appreciate your insights to help me resolve it.

 

Problem Description: I have two map visuals in my Power BI Desktop project, each associated with a separate dataset. The unexpected behavior occurs when I click on a data point in the first map visual – the second map visual blinks or refreshes, despite being unrelated in terms of data sources.

 

Observation: To provide a clearer understanding of the issue, I've created a short video demonstrating the behavior. 

 

Question: unexpected interaction between unrelated map visuals. Could someone shed light on why this behavior is occurring and offer guidance on how to resolve it?

Thanks.

I have installed the latest version of Power BI Dasktop and open the report file in it but still I am getting the same issue.

Here is the screenshot for reference:

Hi @Anonymous 

 

The issue you're experiencing in Power BI Desktop, where one map visual seems to affect another unrelated map visual, can be perplexing. Here are some potential causes and troubleshooting steps that might help you resolve this issue:

  1. Software Glitch: Sometimes, these issues can be due to a temporary glitch in Power BI Desktop. Try closing and reopening the report, or even reinstalling Power BI Desktop if the issue persists.

  2. Latest Version: Ensure you are using the latest version of Power BI Desktop. Sometimes bugs are fixed in newer releases.


Best Regards,
