French Postal Codes

Hi

New to PBI.

I am currently having difficulty plotting French postal codes.

I have approximately 400 codes to plot, of which approximately 10 are displayed.

I have categorised the postal codes correctly, oddly the postal codes categorised as 'Place' brings up more results that a postal code categorised as 'Postal Code'.

 

Currently the following examples of postal codes appear:

16200

68160

57155

28400

 

The following examples of postal codes do not appear:

25660

64400

02590

41330

 

I have checked these postal codes in Bing, and find them.

Any asistance would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you

    I think the reason is that those postal codes are unambiguous for Bing map so that it can't guess your intent. As per Tips and Tricks for Power BI Map visualizations, try to add extra location column such as "Country".

      Hi

      Thank you for getting back to me.

      I swear I have already tried that - but will check again!
