    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)?

Thank you Erik,

 

I guess i need the next update to view the map keys but i didnt see any remark on changing them.

 

To build my own json file is an option of course but in the meantime the translation of the Province name is not proper.

It is supposed to be Friesland instead of Fryslan. (which is local dialect).

 

Anyway's still thank you for the swift reply.

 

Best regards,

 

Sander

    Right,

     

    the latest update makes it possible to view the values used for the provinces.

    But the problem is that the value Fryslan is not right. It should be Friesland.

     

    And switching to english makes mismatches on other ducth province names.

     

    So, Friesland correct and Fryslan is incorrect ,  the latter is used as a local dialect and not a Dutch Province name.

    Of course i can change the data used to fill the map but that would be rather silly since the data is correct.

     

    to sum up; the value Fryslan should be Friesland.

     

    best regards,

      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
