Help with filled map

Newbie here. I wanted to use the filled map to display certain data. Originally during testing, with "west malaysia", I was able to grab it.

Then when I started with my real project, I renamed it "Peninsular Malaysia", and now it fails to grab anything. Changing it back to "west malaysia" afterwards does not fix it either.

Hi @save_me ,

 

If your need is to show the difference between Peninsular Malaysia, Sarawak and Sabah, then here is an alternative solution that I offer.

 

This is test data:

These fields are used and a measure is created to calculate the values for Peninsular Malaysia and several other states.

The result is shown below, and now we can make the distinction:

Hi @save_me ,

 

It is recommended that you use the official geolocation name from the Bin Map, for example:
Malaysia.

Hello @v-linhuizh-msft 

 

Thank you for your reply. However, Malaysia wouldn't work for me as I want to show to difference between Peninsular Malaysia (the left part of Malaysia), Sarawak and Sabah. Do you check for the official geolocation name from the Bin Map by searching at Bin Map?
