    According to this document, I tried with Fryslân and Friesland in my dataset as below, both of them can show in the map. Are you using the latest Power BI Version: 2.37.4464.361 64-bit (July 2016)?

Hi Sander,

 

I see this topic has been marked "Solved", but I still have this exact same issue (in a later version than mentioned below) and I was wondering if you managed to solve this problem without having to change your source-data or creating a custom Json map?

 

Thank you for your reply,

Best regards,

Niels

Hi C4YNelis,

 

sorry for responding this late, i was not aware of your question.

The sollution provided was not a proper solution.

 

The Keymap which comes with the mapshape of the netherlands needs to be changed.

The value Fryslân needs simply to be changed to Friesland before the mapshape can be used properly.

 

The only workaround is indeed a new json map or altering the data source.

 

I did not put any effort in a new map and am not going to change the data.

because i am using direct query i cannot make any changes to accomodate the faulty province name,

(sorry people from Fryslân ;) ). 

 

So, again this question stayes put together with the request to change the map shape.

 

 

best regards,

 

Sander
