Map display does not correctly detect territories
Hi,
I've a problem when detecting the "Comunidades Autonomas" of Spain in Power BI. For those who are not from Spain, the "Comunidades Autonomas" are the form of division of the territory in such a way that Spain is divided into "Comunidades Autonomas" (for example, Catalonia) and these in turn into provinces (for example, Barcelona).
However, Power BI is not correctly detecting those territories when I try to visualize them on a map: if you look at the example file that I attached at the end, all the provinces of Catalonia are not appearing, but only "Tarragona" appears. ", when they should also be displayed: Barcelona, Girona and Lérida.
Does anyone know how I could fix this problem? Thank you so much

It looks like the issue you're facing is due to Power BI not being able to properly detect the provinces in Catalonia. This could be because the data you're using doesn't contain the correct geographical information or because Power BI's mapping capabilities are limited.
To resolve this issue, you can try the following steps:
Verify the data: Make sure that the data you're using contains the correct geographical information, such as the name of the province and the correct latitude and longitude coordinates. If the data is incorrect, you'll need to correct it before proceeding further.
Use a custom map: Power BI provides the ability to create custom maps. You can create a custom map that accurately reflects the geographical boundaries of the provinces in Catalonia, and use it in your visualization.
Use a third-party mapping tool: If Power BI's mapping capabilities are not sufficient, you can use a third-party mapping tool, such as Tableau or QlikView, to create your visualization. These tools often provide more advanced mapping capabilities, including the ability to create custom maps.
By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the issue and properly visualize the provinces in Catalonia in Power BI.

I used a custom map (throught geojson.io) and that's works properly. Thank you
