Filled map visual does not display certain countries
Hi Anonymous ,
Power BI relies on Bing for its mapping services, which adds another layer of complexity.The way Bing recognizes locations may differ from Google Maps or other mapping services in terms of naming, boundaries, and political status.
Based on my testing, HUN,BEL,RUS are correctly displayed on the map when I use ISO 3 letter codes or full country names.
Therefore, it is recommended that you use ISO 3 letter codes or full country names.

Hi Clara,
thanks for the reply. There must be something else involved, I tried that and it does not work:
HU does not work, RU and BE work.
BEL, RUS don't work, HUN works
If I want to use full country names, is there a list of "Bing"/ PowerBI accepted names? I could be Russia, or Russian Federation, Belgium, Kingdom of Belgium or Belgie. Names are much more ambiguous than abbreviations.
