Filled Map Visual

[marcush]

I am trying to map the counties in 10 states and every county is mapping correctly in the Filled Map visual excep for Pepin County Wisconsin. The visual thinks this county is located where Dunn County Wisconsin is and has both of those counties sharing the same location. The area on the map for Pepin County is blank. This is the only county in the area that is not mapping correctly. Can you please fix this or let me know how I can fix it.

Thanks,

Marcus

@marcush,

Have you set Data category for your location field in Power BI Desktop?

To show the map as expected, I would recommend you prepare Lat/Long coodorindates for these locations in your data source, then drag the Lat/Long fields to the filled map.

Meanwhile, you can check the tips below about creating map in Power BI.

Lydia,

I have formatted my data as counties.

I don't think I want to use the Lat/Long coordinates because I want the data to fill the county not be a single point in the county.

@marcush,

Which do you mean a single point?

When adding Lat/long fields in your map, it makes Bing map to correctly recognize your location, which will not impact the existing map visual.

My data point I am trying to map is an entire county. How do I use Lat/Long fields to map an entire county?

@marcush,

Does the problem country show correctly in bing map? Could you please share sample data of your table here?

Bing has 3 counties that it fails to locate. Attached is a copy of the data. Pepin County Wisconsin is the one that is failing to locate correctly in the filled map.
