Map visualisation not recognising Great Britain

Hi all   This is a really odd problem - hoping someone else has come across it before.   I've a dataset with countries, including Great Britain, and a map visualisation that shows overall results...

    Hi, Anonymous 

     

    Based on my test, you may modify 'Great Britain' as 'UK' which can be identified by bing map.

     

    Best Regards

    Thanks v-alq-msft 

     

    Yes, that would do it.  Strictly UK = Great Britain + Northern Ireland, so not exactly the same thing, but in this case I don't need to distinguish NI so I could use that.  I knew I could transform data and solve it that way, I was wondering if anyone knew why the map visualisation would sometimes recognise Great Britain and sometimes not.  Could be a time when I do need to distinguish Northern Ireland (PaulDBrown's point on Brexit ğŸ˜‚).

     

    Very odd, but thanks for taking the time to provide the alternative!
