Map area - regions in Iceland

Hi! My objective is to be able to filter my report based on regions in Iceland, such as this: 

darrirafn_0-1698231502158.png

 

I'm having a hard time finding a good way to do this.

 

I lean towards using an ArcGIS map, and the regions appear here: 

darrirafn_0-1698232303533.png

 

But how to filter based on these regions? I can't choose them in the map. I could perhaps create a column that specifies the region? 

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If ArcGIS recognizes the regions it helps but you also could try it in the Azure map visual - for that I would recommend going to Bing and finding the exact name that Bing puts for these regions and then making sure you have them 1:1 like that in your data.

Then set the data category of that column to Region and it might just work.
