For a dashboard I've designed it shows the Post codes on the PowerBI map on the PowerBI desktop, however it does not show some of the locations on the service if the column name is "Post Code" (or any similar such as Postal Code, Zip Code etc.).
The annoying part here is that it shows the points on the service if the Column name is different (data being the same) than Post Code (or any similar names).
Column1Post CodeColumn3
| test1 | PL5 2TS | 1 |
| test2 | PL7 1YB | 2 |
| test3 | PL16 6BJ | 3 |
Please see the Images , one with column name as Post Code and another with Wharever!
For the first case it does not show the locations for test1 and test3, whereas for the second case it shows all 3 points on the map.

Hi @siddhartha,
Based on my test, if you set Data Category to Place for that column, then it will work in both scenario(no matter what the column name is). ![]()

Thanks buddy, it worked like wonders. I had tried with Post Code as Data category, but did not seem to work.
