Hi @160475 ,

What's the date type of the field X and Y? From your screenshot, it seems that their data type is Text type... And if their data category be set as Longitude/ Latitude? 

Tips and tricks for Power BI map visualizations

In Power BI, if the dataset you are using has fields for longitude and latitude--use them! Power BI has special buckets to help make the map data unambiguous. Just drag the field that contains your latitude data into the Visualizations > Latitude area. And do the same for your longitude data.
