Using easting and northings to plot maps in Power BI
Is it possible to use eastings and northings to plot locations in Power BI? We currently use systems that only produce information in this format, yet it seems Power BI only accepts latitude and lon...
We have a system that produces reports and plots the locations of these using Eastings and Northings.
This is stored in an Oracle database.
The Oracle database connects to Power BI via a direct query, so power BI is pulling the information directly out of the system meaning we are unable to convert the fields before they go into Power BI.
We are unable to use the maps in Power BI as it insists on having everything in Latitude and Longitude.
Is there any way we can use Easting and Northings for the maps in Power BI, instead of Latitude and Longitude? Or is there any way we can convert Easting and Northings to Latitude / Longitude on the fly within Power BI?
