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. However only 6 states showed up on the map...

Hi blaw, is it possible to send a sample of data in CSV format so that I can test it from my side?

 

Not sure what exactly is going on without viewing the data.

Hi,

 

Just wondering whether this issue has ever been resolved please. I am experiencing similar issue. Thanks in advance.

    Hi there, I would ensure that you have got the column with the correct data which will be Address, State, Post Code, Country

    And then ensure that the Data Category is set to Address.

    Hi,

    We are having the same issue- however it is very intermittent. We have reproduce the issue using a column of Australian States using concatenated strings (DataCategory = StateOrProvince) where an example of the column contents looks like ‘Western Australia, Australia’, and as a Hierarchy Structure with a ‘Country’ column (DataCategory = Country) and ‘StateName’ column (Data Category = StateOrProvince). We have not been able to fix the problem and so have moved to using a different visual- SynopticPanel, in our production environment. However if there is a known fix for the problem Bing Map issue, that would be great to know.

    BTW, when you use DataCategory = Address, is this just a suggestion? Or are you suggesting to use this instead of StateOrProvince.

    Hi there, in the past I would try different data categories, and a slightly different combination for the Country and State?

    I personally have not had any issues with the standard maps in Power BI. I am not sure how the synoptic chart would make it any easier.

    Do you perhaps have some sample data or sample PBIX file to have a look at?

    I'm not sure how to send a pbix file through this application, but here is a snippet of event that happen about 2 months ago. You can see the data associated with the map. The annotataion is attached to the tooltip.

    For reasons unknown, Bing just didn't render South Australia, NSW or Victoria.  Overtime (a few days) it just 'fixed' itself.

     

    Synoptic Panel by OKViz - https://okviz.com/synoptic-panel/.  Works well, though does require some setup, but doesn't have the issues we currently have with Bing.
