    Hi KhaiT 

    Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft Fabric Community Forum.

     

    Multi-Geo in Power BI refers to the ability to store data in different geographic locations. However, there are some limitations, particularly with the Metrics (formerly known as Goals) feature.

     

    1. Same Geography, Different Regions

    If your home region is Australia Southeast and the workspace is in Australia East, it's still considered the same geography (Australia). The limitation of Multi-Geo not supporting Metrics usually applies when data is stored across different geographies (like Australia and Europe). Since both regions are within the same geography, this limitation shouldn't apply.

     

    2. Metrics Section Visibility

    When Multi-Geo is not supported for Metrics, the Metrics section will generally be hidden. You won't have access to it, and it won't appear in your Power BI interface. This means you won't encounter errors when trying to create a metric because the option simply won't be available.
