Brazilian states not being recognized in maps.

Hello,

 

There are several Brazilian states that are not being recognized in maps reports. States like CE (Ceará), AM (Amazonas) and others are shown as states in different countries. Is there anyway to set the country which the region is located?

 

In my case, I'm trying to create a Filled Map. I already modelled my "country" field as a "state or province" data category, and I also have a "Country" field, modelled as "Country/Region".

Looks like it is working for me for the 2 states you told. Just modelled it as you said, and pulled it in a filled map. Works also in a regular map

Power BI uses Bing for geocoding, so you might have better luck on the Bing map forum. https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?category=bingmaps
