I work in the Real Estate industry and receive requests to plot data points on map showing sales in which our company has participated. Everything went fine until I tried viewing all the data points and ended up with "Showing a Representative Sample". I would like the ability to show a minimum of 2500 data points

RE: Allow more data points to be displayed on a map
Any updates on this ?
RE: Allow more data points to be displayed on a map
This has been under review for almost 2 years. Any status on updating it?
RE: Allow more data points to be displayed on a map
With this restriction Power BI is just a Small Data tool.
There should be no limit at all for maps and scatterplots. Otherwise they are useless.
The easiest workaround should be a checkbox for the limit of 3500 (shut off by accepting performance loss).
And that this feature is now requested for 2 years doesn't sound very promessing for soon changes :-(
Hopefully you guys adjust this soon. Until this we use the competitor tool.
RE: Allow more data points to be displayed on a map
Agreed. I could use 10,000 minimum
RE: Allow more data points to be displayed on a map
It will be good to have as this is limiting the effectiveness of power bi at the moment.
RE: Allow more data points to be displayed on a map
Hi, if not all the points can be displayed it would be nice to get a warning so people will not think their source is not reliable.
RE: Allow more data points to be displayed on a map
Agreed. Same comment regarding scatter plots. Need more data points to be visible.
RE: Allow more data points to be displayed on a map
Building a custom visual will allow you to set any number as a limit.
The solution to this problem is to specify a count of values that you want to show in your Visual.
this is possible by going into the capabilities and setting the 'count' property of the datareduction algorithm to whatever you want. We tried this with 100.000 and it worked fine, albeit a tad slower than usual.
It will affect performance, but otherwise it will work.

Maybe put this idea with this one :

RE: Allow more data points to be displayed on a map
This is a huge set-back. Additionally, when plotting the data points in a scatterplot - I do not want to feel an uncertainty that important outliers might not be shown. Please increase the limit to show all data-points whatever the limit might be.
