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 (bubble size) by country which is working well. I created a second Power BI model with a map visualisation based on exactly the same dataset, and in this second model all countries except Great Britain appear. The Bing map shows United Kingdom as "the country" and I guess I could change the data, but as it is picking up Great Britain for one of the models I can't understand why it wouldn't do so for the other.
Any ideas/suggestions? It's driving me mad!
Thanks
Andrew

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

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