I am attempting to create a map visual that shows sales by geography within the US by using the Power BI Drilldown Choropleth visual. I can get the visual to work correctly when using the shapefiles from the US Census Bureau's website (https://www.census.gov/geo/maps-data/data/cbf/cbf_state.html) and converting them to the Topojson format using mapshaper.org.
However when using my custom shapefiles which have custom regions and subregions the map only has one region bolded with the other ones grayed out, and when hovering over each region it only shows the sales of one of the regions no matter which region I am selecting. The numbers should change and show each region's sales when hovering the mouse over that region.
After several hours of searching online for a solution and coming up empty, I thought I would modify my shapefile to only one region to see if I can get one region to work. To my surprise, the region was mapped correctly, but the problem that occurred was that the region was not highlighted, but the rest of the map was. In other words, when hovering over the region with the mouse nothing would show up, but when I hovered over any other part of the map the region's sales would appear.
Has anyone had any similar experience? Any help to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated.

I am looking to display map tiles over a map inside of a boundary box at exact coordinates.
I can display images at coordinates in power bi but they do not change size when zooming in and out.
Does anyone know how to do this? I have looked into azure maps a little but it seems I need to either use or setup a tile service to do this?
At the moment I just have my images in blob storage and wondering whether this is possible in powerbi or if someone has another solution?
I have looked into Tableau but I was informed that cannot display images from urls.
I have also looked into grafana but it seems for that I need to setup a tile server.
I am wondering if this is possible without those things.
I've gone through some forensic analysis and implemented iCloud Account access programmatically (with authentication).
The problem I'm facing is that, when getting responses for Notes Table attachment, the table cells are out of order. E.g. sometimes the cells from the 2nd row appears first, and cells from the 1st row comes next. I couldn't find any meta data from which I can know the ordering of these cells.
FYI, I have decoded the attachment responses with Versioned-Document and Crframework protocall-buffer objects. If someone has worked with this technology or followed similar forensic analysis, can you help me getting order of the table cell data?
Thanks in advance.
When going through DAX overview documentation on the following https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dax/dax-overview,
under the Calculated Column heading, I couldn't understand the highlighted information in the following statement:
"(calculated) Column values are only recalculated if the table or any related table is processed (refresh) or the model is unloaded from memory and then reloaded, like when closing and reopening a Power BI Desktop file."
Does it mean, that whenever we close the Power BI Desktop file, the model is unloaded from memory? does the memory is used like Cache?
Would anyone please help me understand what actually happens in practical world? Thank you for giving your valuable time and support!
The main point of this remark is to distinguish the difference between measures and calculated columns since the distinction is often not clear to report builders.
A measure is dynamically calculated on-demand when the end-user interacts with the report via slicers or any other sort of filtering and interaction.
A calculated column is only calculated when the model is refreshed. As a result, calculated columns cannot be dynamically responsive to the end-user since they have already been computed before the user can interact with the report.
Power BI Desktop is excel on steraloids. It is an application and as with every application when you close it, it unloads from memory. Its great and you can do a lot..
It has the option to refresh (a button) when you press it, it recalculates your calculated columns.
If you want dashboards and reports served, to be shown in other (web) applications. You want to go with Power BI server. It runs in the cloud and you can refresh the data (daily, on the hour or direct) you can set this all up scheduled in the admin tools.
It is logical that only on a refresh, your calculated columns get recalculated. Only in this moment of time your raw data is changing what will have effect on your calculated columns.
I'm pretty new to Power BI.
I have a number of measures I've created in my Power BI app, data related to information requests that come to my team.
I've put these measures into a Bar Chart. I also have a table that lists details about these data requests. I want to be able to select an item in the Bar Graph and have the records in the Table to adjust to just those related to the selection.
I did this once by accident when i was fiddling around, now I can't figure out how i did it.
I also have a date filter set to affect all of my pages.
Any advice would be awesome.
Thanks in advance.

Try going to Model (highlighted in the screenshot, left side) and then Manage Relationships (highlighted as well). Then click on Autodetect. If Autodetect does not solve your problem, then you will have to create new relationships manually.
My data source is Blob storage which is around 270MB of data and is taking around 4.5 hours to refresh. So encountered 120 minute timeout issue on power bi service. Therefore gave a try at setting incremental refresh.
I don't think I have premium license as it shows 10GB storage at the top right hand corner on my Power bi Service. Does this mean that I wont be able to set the incremental refresh?
But I gave a try as below:
I manually created RangeStart and RangeEnd parameters in the manage parameters as below (as there were no default ones), but not sure about the "Current value" field (See below)? So I left it blank and sorted the date/time column according to these parameters
And the next step, while enabling the incremental refresh, the button has been greyed out as below:
Not sure how to proceed.
You are correct. Incremental refresh is a PBI Premium preview feature only.
