Map not working anymore since latest update

Hi,

 

For some time now I use for a map-visualisation as Location a field that combines the first 4 characters of the dutch postalcodes and the word Netherlands. It look likes this "1234, Netherlands". This doesnot work anymore since latest update. I do not get any figures in the map. If I use only first 4 characters of the postalcodes then I see figures but then I see also figures in America and Australia.

I tested with field like "1234, Netherlands" in map visual, but I can't get it work in both March and April Update.

 

What version of Power BI Desktop were you using (which works properly before)? And can you share some sample data?

It worked fine untill this week for a few months in a row.

You can find de data via https://1drv.ms/f/s!AtuQOpRaGh5cnRU9X_te0YTh2Ygz

For example the map on the tab "Opbrengst verkopen analyse (geo)" doesnot work anymore.

It works if I use the field Postcode only, but then revenues are spread around the world.

 

By the way I also have the longitude and lattitude data in the tables, but I do not know how to get that working. That was the reason that I started using the Postcalcode, Country method.

 

Thank you in advance for your help!
