Bing in Excel Maps
aekormishin Couldn't replicate your problem. Created a region map for Germany, using the region names found for Germany by the geography data type. It lists 16 regions (including Thuringia) and all seem to plot on the map. See attached.
Riny_van_Eekelen Thanks for the file! It worked just fine. However, when I tried to follow the manual on Office 365 support, there was an advice to define the data as Geographical, that's what I did. In attachment you can find my file. Thuringia is still not recognised by Bing Map in there.
It's better not to complicate, Map Charts is much more sensitive to column names and fulfillment of data. Check two charts at the bottom - one is with adding the country, another not. All the rest is the same, but second one doesn't recognize Hamburg.
As for Thuringia, Geography data types recognizes it only as Thüringen (I guess that is correct German name), but not as German state, as municipality in Austria. Most probably the issue is here.
aekormishin I see! But one does not have to data type everything as "geography", proven by my example. Don't know why the support pages insist that to do the data typing first.
- Thanks anyway! You saved me 🙂
