GeoFilter in Mobile App
Hi,
Need some help on mobile app geofilter option.
I am using Lat/Long details along with geo cities to identify business locations, after following all the mandatory steps in mobile app I don't see geofilter option getting highlighted (see the attached image)
I have added my pbix file in the below link for easy understanding.

Hello shakeelsyed ,
Filtering report by location requires that you will have a city/state/country column (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/consumer/mobile/mobile-apps-geographic-filtering#why-dont-i-see-location-tags-on-a-report). In the report you shared you are using a lat/long columns.
You need to translate the Lat/Long values to a city and state, in order to use them as valid columns for geo location filtering.
Thanks, Maya
