Australia map not working correctly

I am using the Map to try to map our company stores (by state ) in the Australia map.

 

The Legends of the states showed with  8 differenct colours. Australia_stores_by_state

However only 6 states showed up on the map. Western Australia (WA) and New Zealand (NZ)  did not show.

 

Did anyone have this issue?

Hi guavaq,

 

I have tried with State and Country in the Location in the map, but the Legends I can only include state.

 

It still has no effect. Where do you specify the country in the map just to make sure I did not miss anything?

 

Hi @blaw

 

I think that possibly things might be lost in translation.

 

What I have suggested is that you create a calculated column within your Power BI Model, that contains both the State and the Country. So this means that there will be a new column in your Power BI Model called "State-Country"

 

And this calculated column will be a combination of your State column with Australia at the end. 

 

Once you then have this calculated column "State-Country" then change the data categorization to City or state, it should then show correctly.

Hi guavaq,

 

As I explain before I get my data from SSAS. I cannot create a new calculated column in Power BI.

Not to mention further about the data categorization as it is disable.

I can only create state-country in my dimension in SSAS.

If I specified the state-country as  Georgraphy - 'State' in the data type, whether the map in Power BI recognise it as the state in Australia.

 

I have arlready tried filter out the country to Australia.

Thanks guavaq for your replies. I actually learn more about Power BI eventhough this issue is not resolved.

 

Will log this to Microsoft.

Hi @blaw, can you confirm that you do have data for the WA and NZ?
