Esri ArcMap visual missing local authorities UK.
I think in your use case mapping data is often tricky due to evolving political and administrative boundaries. You could consider leveraging GIS software such as ArcGIS Desktop or QGIS to navigate this. These platforms allow for manual boundary adjustments and merging of various shapefiles to create a desired geography. Once you've defined the boundaries, you can export this data as a shapefile and import it directly into the ArcGIS Map visual, ensuring consistent data types for your LAD codes and names. Another route is to explore alternative Power BI custom visuals or plugins that handle geographic data; a prominent option in this domain is Mapbox. Also the inconsistencies might be rooted in Esri's own data or a possible bug, so I recommend you to reach out directly to Esri to flag this issue, ensuring in parallel that your Power BI Desktop and ArcGIS Map visual tools are up-to-date.
