Power BI uses Bing maps for geocoding so this is probably really something you need to bring up with the Bing Maps folks.

      Hi Simon_Hou,

       

      Thanks for the reply.

       

      I am not using the lowest level, I am using one of the highest levels - 

      A full postcode example is B15 1EJ.

      I am just using B.

       

      The map correctly fills for every other postcode that I have.

       

      How can I raise a support ticket to have this fixed?

       

      Kind regards,

      Joe
