Power BI Azure Map Bubble Size

I know there are numerous posts regarding the Power BI Azure map bubble sizes remaining the same size even though a data value has been placed in the Size field but this is not that issue.

 

Power BI Desktop Version: 2.105.923.0 64-bit (May 2022)

 

According to Microsoft documentation when a data value is placed in the size data field the Size setting should be greyed out and additional options made avaiable.

SizeThe size of each bubble. This option is hidden when a field is passed into the Size bucket of the Fields pane. Additional options will appear as outlined in the Bubble size scaling topic further down in this article

Bubble size scaling

If a field is passed into the Size bucket of the Fields pane, the bubbles will be scaled relatively to the measure value of each data point. The Size option in the Bubble layer section of the Format pane will disappear when a field is passed into the Size bucket, as the bubbles will have their radii scaled between a min and max value. The following options will appear in the Bubble layer section of the Format pane when a Size bucket has a field specified.

Setting Description
Min sizeMinimum bubble size when scaling the data.
Max sizeMaximum bubble size when scaling the data.
Size scaling methodScaling algorithm used to determine relative bubble size.

    • Linear - Range of input data linearly mapped to the min and max size. (default)
    • Log - Range of input data logarithmically mapped to the min and max size.
    • Cubic-Bezier - Specify X1, Y1, X2, Y2 values of a Cubic-Bezier curve to create a custom scaling method.

 

This is not occuring for me an additionally the bubble sizes are remaining the same size regardless of filtering the data. See below:

Thanks in advance for any assistance on this.

I determined the problem. It was because I was using the legend data field. I had used this to color coordinate the bubbles for specfic states. This works fine in the standard map visual but apparently causes an issue with the Azure map one.

 

Thanks

Hi @ChrisE15890c 

I found a case to open in the May version, the bubbles will change according to the size of the value, you can refer to the link I provided to judge the problem.
