Wrong mapping of longitude @ latitude (?)

[Mark]

Hi,

Memphis coordinates are:   35° 8' 57" N   /   90° 2' 56" W

I put them at simple Excel file, containing one row only:  (35.15 , -90.05).

The circle that I see on a map is quite far from Memphis, more close to Atlanta.

I've check it with Dallas - the same.

Can you check it?  Is it a bug, or I do something wrong?

Mark.

Not a bug => 35.15, -90.05 => plots correctly.

I tried it with a column for each Latitude and Longitude as in the picture below and it worked fine.

I also tried it with a single column for Lat-Long and of course that worked fine too.

Check and verify that the numbers in your Excel file are the same => 35.15, -90.05 (Lat-Long)

First of all, thank you very much, to both of you.

I am at home now.

I downloaded Power BI application to my laptop, created simple Excel file with Mempis coordinates,

and - what do you think? - it works perfect!

Next week I will be at work. i will try to understand what goes wrong at my computer at work.

Anyway, it seems like the problem simply doesn't exist.

Thank you one more time for your help.

Mark.
