Hi @AOSulli ,

I'm not quite sure exactly what you are trying to achieve. If you're trying to achieve something like a radar plot, where when you click on a point on the map, a circle with a specified radius appears, then this may not be possible in Power BI.
But if you want to achieve that there are many points on your map, and when you click on one of them, all the points within the specified radius are displayed, then this effect can be achieved. I found this blog for you, which has detailed steps and explanations.
