Filled map makes Asia part of Europe

Hello, 

I just registered today on the Power BI Community because I couldn't find an answer anywhere on the internet. 

 

I'm trying to show a world map colored by continent :

The problem I'm facing is quite surprising : if I filter on Asia, the continent displays correctly :

But when I select Europe, this weird thing happens :

As you can see, Asia is part of Europe... 

I've tried many things : 

  • Power BI Desktop in english with English values for continent names
  • Power BI Desktop in french with French values for continent names
  • Power BI Desktop in english with ISO codes for continents (EU,NA,SA,AF,AS,OC)
  • Power BI Desktop in french with ISO codes for continents (EU,NA,SA,AF,AS,OC)

But nothing worked. 

Do you have any idea about how to fix this ?

Unfortunately, this error is still present in the May update. It looks like an incorrect shape file for Europe, which should actually be easy to fix.

Thanks, I'm going to look at that. 
Have a good day.

I also have the same issue where Europe is being shown under Asia.

I am unable to share my data as it included confidential information, but as can be seen below Europe is including Asia.

I have the Version: 2.104.702.0 64-bit (April 2022)

 

If there is a resolution to this it would be great.

I can't add the file in here, not really convenient : 

toji_0-1647939052589.pngI've created a sample dataset because I have restricted data in my actual .pibx file. 
I've been able to reproduce the issue by using those data in 3 minutes so maybe it will be enough :

I'm at work and have no other technical possibilites to upload the file (no access to wetransfer or other tools like that...). 

 

Thanks in advance for your help 🙂
