BI Map Legend Tooltip Issue

Hi All,

 

I’m having some trouble with the “map” visual field parameters in the web version of Power BI. I have a map in a report with long and lat data that all shows up fine. However I can only add either a legend or a tooltip for some reason. If I try to have both regardless of the field type the locations disappear from the map. However when selecting “Show Data” the values are all there.

Bear in mind this dataset and report project was functioning fine a few days ago, this error seem to come out of the blue. The error only takes place in the online workspace of Power BI, Desktop works fine.

There are no warning or error messages that come up so I’m having trouble tracing the error-I would assume it would be with the dataset however as I mentioned there were no changes to my knowledge.

Let me know if you have any thoughts!

    Hi Sparta,

     

    Could you please tell me what is the version of your Power BI desktop?

     

    Baes on my test using the June version (2.59.5135.781 64-bit (June 2018)). Both desktop and service could work well for the map.

     

     

    However, when I use the latest version desktop. (2.60.5169.2101 64-bit (July 2018)) I got the same issue as you. All the points disappear in a sudden. However, after I publish the report to service, it get to normal with no issue.

     

    For more details, please check the files as attached. Could you please share sample data of your table so that I can test?

      Hi Frank,

       

      I am also Sparta-

       

      Here is a link to the data and the project: Google Drive Data

       

      I would publish as a service, however as you noticed the error is only as you set either legend or tooltip.. In this case the flag was to be the legend, and the "OBName" field was meant to be the tooltip. 

       

      I have the April Desktop version which works totally fine-it is when I've uploaded as a service does it make me choose tooltip or legend for the map.

       

      I appreicate your help!
