What legend icon is selected when there is no 1:1 relationship between plot and datapoint?

Hi,

 

I'm having a problem, where in the ideal world I'm suppose to plot 3,7 million points/adresses on a map, but I'm limited by PowerBI and it's limit of max 30.000 - please increase this Microsoft!

 

My current workaround for this, is to aggregate data to individual roads, giving me around 120.000 data points, which I can display for individual regions ending up with less than 30.000 datapoints per region, wuhu!

 

However...

When I plot this on a map and add a legend for a data type, I will no longer have a 1:1 relationship between plot point and legend.

I.E. if I my data for each household is how many children that's living in each household that could range between 0-6, but would vary for each household on any given road.

 

Thus my question is, when I plot this data and add a legend without a 1:1 relationship between legend and plot (I've set Cross filter direction to 'Both' to do this), how can I tell which logic PBI uses to select the legend for each point?

 

To me it would make sense if PBI chooses the legend with the largest count for each point, but I haven't been able to confirm this.

Hi @Anonymous

 

I agree with your idea and it seems difficult to confirm that. For your requirement, you may submit your ideas here.
