    Hi Wonderboy101 ,

    I create a table as you mentioned. Power BI's filled map uses the Bing Maps API to get geocoded locations and outlines. It is not enough for filled map to recognize the regions using Acronyms. Please use full name of these regions, and set data category to Continent or Place in filled map.

    When I select Column3, I click on Data category. It can change the things you want. You need to make sure the Data type is Text.

     

     

     

    Best Regards
