filled map

HI, am trying to use map filled visualizations to see a count of students in each county in Puerto Rico, everything is fine but I have two city Florida and Isabela is the same in Florida, USA and Isabela in Phillippines. 

 

How I can delimiter or what to do, for powerbi stay just in Puerto Rico area and those two city fill in Puerto Rico.

 

  • In the PBI Filled Map.

    Drag the Country column (which should say Puerto Rico) to the location field.

    Then drag the City column right under the Country column to create a Hierarchy.

    Enable drill down (one way to do this would be to click the down arrow in the Visual Header top right corner)

    Click on Puerto Rico on the map to drill down - Map will now show the correct cities!:smileyhappy:

     

    In ArcGIS.

    Place City in the location field.

    Click the ellipsis ... in the top right corner of the visual - select Edit

    Go to Location Type - Locations are in - select One Country and then select Puerto Rico

    This will plot the correct cities also as points!

    You can now try changing the Represent locations as - Boundaries instead of Points

    An additional Location Type field will be be available and also Closest or Exact Match...

    Once you make your selections click OK to view the changes you’ve made.

     

    Hope this helps! :smileyhappy:
