Filled map with postal/zip codes stopped working

Hi,   I have a Power BI dashboard that uses the Filled map visual to show postal/zip code areas in the Netherlands. This suddenly stopped working, the visual does not show the postal code areas any...

    Hi,

     

    v-easonf-msft: the problem has solved itself, the filled maps worked again for some reason. Maybe there was a bug in Power BI or Bing Maps that has been fixed in the meantime. 

     

    Watsky: unfortunatly ArcMaps is currently unavailble at my organization. But it could me a good alternative for the future. Thanks for the tip!

Watsky 

Thank you for the reply.

 

I have been looking at the Arcmaps, but this doesnt seem to work properly...

I only have the 4 number of de postal code. 

When I enter these in the Arcmaps I get the dots, if I then change it the way you suggested and use the PC4 option... I get a filled map. But still it doesn't seem to be correct.

 

What does the postal code variabele look like? I have entered the number with the land so : 2345,Netherlands

See the screen shots I added.

The black cirkel are postal codes that shouldn't be located there, the rest of them seem ok.

I used the postal codes just with the number / letter combo so  1012 CR for instance. Which codes are you using?

    Watsky: Thanks Watsky! Just the first four numbers (1012), so all postal codes starting with 1012.

       I'm not familiar with the Netherlands codes but is this what you're looking for? I have three codes just as a test but the blue area is indicated as 1012.

        Watsky Yes, that is what I use as Anonymous  the 4 numbers of the code (no letters). I will try what you just send. You dont add the country to the postal code if I am correct? so the variabele just consists of the numbers 1012 (no ",NL" or ",Netherlands")?
