How to use Dutch postal codes in map visualisation

Dear All,

 

I try to show Dutch customers in the map in Power BI, based ont he postal code. Currently it has been mixed up with locations in Belgium. How can I make sure / identfy just only the locations in the Netherlands? 

 

For instance: does a source exist to map easily Dutch postal codes with longitude and latitude data? Or better to use a country code?

 

Any suggestion is welcome!

 

Thanks

Second option worked for me. My work laptop showed different locations then my work pc when i used dutch postal codes. With the second solution ([Post Code] & " , " & [Country]) it showed the correct data in both cases. Thanks for the tip!
