I am working with Longitude-Latitude values using the default powerBi map visualization. I want to be able to specify a certain distance and also be able to specify how many map points will be displayed within that radius. For example I would like maps to plot 500 or less lat-long points within any 1 mile radius in the US. Just to be clear, maps should plot all map points within the US that are quantity 500 or less in any 1 mile radius.
Can anyone help me to solve this in PowerBi or is there any other visualization tool in powerBi that can help me to do this?

We got several OLAP Cubes in PowerBI Datasets.
One of the cubes has a dimension "dim_location" which contains columns for latitude and longitude. But each dataset has 2 pairs of values, let's call them start_latitude, start_longitude and end_latitude, end_longitude.
I got a fact table connected to that dim_location and want to show some of the measures on a map.
It works perfectly fine with both the map visual and the ArcGIS visual, if I use either the end or the start coordinates. I can show the values as circles with changing size or changing color dependent on the value of a measure. So far so good.
But what I instead want to accomplish is to show a line on the map for each dataset. Each line shall go from start point to end point, color dependent on measure value.
Is there a way to offer the coordinates in the cube dimension in some string syntax that will create a shape, like a polygon with only 2 points, which would result in a line, which can then be shown on the map?
As stated before everything works fine on the map and the ArcGIS visual with one point (lat/lon) per dataset. Tried to find help online for some polygon syntax but came up empty.
Which type of visualisation I need to choose if I want to show relationships between 3 numerical values and turn the horizontal axis into a logarithmic scale? The worksheet data would include grouped sets of values and you wanted to show patterns in large sets of data, for example by showing linear or non-linear trends, clusters, and outliers?
Bubble Chart
Bar Chart
Treemap
Pie Chart
A bubble Chart is the correct option.
In a Power Bi report I'm using a Scatter Chart (bubble) with a Play Axis (months).
But this one is limited to 10 elements (I tried years, days, weeks... always 10). Also it's not a size problem, I already tried to put it on maximum size.
And I would like to have 12 elements (all months). How can I fix that?

Thanks a lot
The scatter chart does not limit the play axis to 10 items, the value for those remaining items are null/blank due to which the play axis does not show those values. Please find below the screenshot. So please check the data for those missing categories.
Thanks.
I have 2 maps in PowerBi, one shows a job count and the other a material spend. If I zoom one map to look at a problem area I want the other maps to zoom to that point too. I cant find any mention of how this could be done but wondering if anyone knows?
PowerBi Map
The best you can do would be to add a Slicer based on "area", which would apply to both maps.
Hi frens I am using geopy to calculate the latitude and longitude. Now I want to get the list of areas given distance from a zipcode.How to get that?
Well, as I can see, geopy doesn't have any built-in capability to get a list of areas around some coordinates.
But you can use a workaround. Take your geocode and calculate coordinates (latitue and longitude). Then imagine a grid on the map with a cell size equal to area of the smallest one you need to find around your location.
Use geopy to get an area name belonging to the each cell corner of your grid. Is that ok for you? It will get you some kind of approximation because a grid is not a circle and you may miss some small areas. But I think in most cases the solution will work fine.
It is much easier to locate zipcodes inside a rectangle than in a circle so I would recommend that you approximate your problem by looking for zipcodes inside a given rectangle.
Here are answers to the question of how to get list of zipcodes in given polygone: Find zipcodes inside polygon shape using google maps api
Summary
You need geometry for each zipcode. Once you have that you need to be able to query it using database that supports geoquery. One such database is Google's Fusion Table and there is already a geometry data table for zipcodes available here: https://www.google.com/fusiontables/DataSource?docid=1AxB511DayCdtmyBuYOIPHIe_WM9iG87Q3jKh6EQ#rows:id=1
Here's the sample query for Fusion Table data.
Another approach is server side code using PHP and CSV data. Here's live demo: http://daim.snm.ku.dk/demo/zip/. The page also has download for code.
