Chloropleth map problem with continents
Hi all,
Just started working with PowerBI and wanted to make use of the Chloropleth map visualization. For some reason the map will not recognize the continent of Oceania and instead apply it to Africa (which now has 2 fills over it). Please see picture below:
My data has global coverage over all continents, so it should cover Oceania as well. Should I adopt a different name for this continent? What does Bing recognize?
Kind regards.

Please try use the English names if you didn't. And how did you record the location country or province or city? You can check the Data Category for the location column to see if the issue occurs.

I have used english everywhere and everything works great except for the continent Oceania. I have categorized the data accordingly (continents as continent, country as country). Strange thing is if I drill down into Oceania, it includes of course Australia and New Zealand and it jumps to those countries. The only mistake happens on continent level with bing maps coloring in Africa instead of Oceania.
