Filled Map error: Cannot read property 'absolute' of undefined mapvisuals.js

 I am using a filled map using zip codes a location and those zip codes are from MN, USA. It displays fine in power BI desktop, but it doesn't work in powerbi web or when I embed these reports. I get javascript error 'Cannot read property 'absolute' of undefined in mapvisuals.js at following line -

 var mainShape = paths[MapShapeDataPointRenderer.getIndexOfLargestShape(paths)].absolute;

 

This is clearly a bug, until it gets fixed, can someone give me some pointers for a workaround?

 

It used to fine earlier, noticed this issue only few days back, don't know it it has something to do with a specific zip code.

I figured that it is failing for 100 or more zip codes. If I add 99 zip codes only it works fine.

HI @rakeshpant81,

 

 >> I am using a filled map using zip codes a location and those zip codes are from MN, USA. It displays fine in power BI desktop, but it doesn't work in powerbi web or when I embed these reports.

Since I'm not so clarify for your scenario, can you please share sample data and pbix file for further testing?


In addition, provide some detail information will also be help for troubleshooting.. (e.g. operations steps,snapshots, detail error message,embed method: publish to web feature, power bi embedded, rest api? ...)

HI @rakeshpant81,

I think that field contains character length limit, so it failed when you load long  string of zip code.
