Bing in Excel Maps
Das gleiche Problem habe ich beim Landkreis "Rhein-Erft-Kreis". Excel findet den Landkreis nicht (auch nicht in anderer Schreibweise). Die Gemeinden des Landkreises sind lediglich mit dem Regierungsbezirk Köln verknüpft.
NoStadt Went to bing Maps and asked for driving directions to Rhein-Erft-Kreis. In a location picker, it displayed the name Erftkreis, Bachem.
Entered that name into Excel, data typed it as Geography. Although the county was not recognised, I did get a map of the county that I believe is for Rhein-Erft-Kreis. Don't ask me why or how, but this just proves that the mapping function is far from perfect in some parts of the world. File attached.
Riny_van_EekelenIt works thank you!
Geography tools in Excel don't like places which were renamed in previous 20-30 years and quite often don't recognize them. If only they are not in USA..
Wiki says that in 1975 Bergheim and Cologne districts were merged and named as Erftkreis, in 2003 it was renamed to Rhein-Erft-Kreis.
SergeiBaklan Great. Hope that NoStadt will be able to get it to work. As said, it just proved that this tool is not very reliable and that it requires some creativity to make this "feature" work properly outside the US.
