Maps Data for Scotland
Hi, Apologies if this has been answered elsewhere but I'm trying to create a map chart for Scottish Local Authorties (Council regions) and I have all of their official names but the Maps chart isn...
Thank you SergeiBaklan . Sensitive is a very polite word for it! Thanks for your help.
I have found the solution to all but 2 of the local authorities - Angus & West Dunbartonshire. I've tried adding County to the end and County of to the front as well as City but without joy.
Any suggestions?
Bizarrely the Gaelic name for Angus, Comhairle Aonghais, has worked but I still can't get anything for West Dunbartonshire.
NFPChris it also appears to respond to Forfarshire. West Dunbartonshire is proving impossible, however. I've tried everything I can think of, in English, Scots and Gaelic.
Thank you for the replies. Thanks SergeiBaklan for bringing in reinforcements! I have now added the question to Answers. I couldn't find an appropriate blog to contact an author though.
Thanks for trying Noel Slevin , Forfarshire seems to replace Angus which would make sense.
Thanks Smitty Smith , unfortunately I don't seem to be able to access Data Types. I'm using Office 365 Pro Plus and have just done an update but I still don't have these options. It sounds like it's the same problem if it's plotting all but East Ayrshire though, seems bizarre that it'd be a different Local Authority that'd cause the problem. From your original post regarding the counties and greater confidence I do know from checking that the 31/32 that I do now have plotted are correct and the missing piece of the jigsaw is exactly where West Dunbartonshire lies.
I didn't find here Smitty Smith post about geography data type, perhaps it was deleted. I tried West Dunbartonshire with geography data type as well, that didn't help.
Thanks for checking SergeiBaklan. The area in your map that is circled is actually Argyll & Bute. I'm pretty sure West Dunbartonshire is the missing bit in the centre.
Microsoft don't seem to believe in West Dunbartonshire!
NFPChris , sorry, I'm not familiar with Scottish geography. Yes, it shows this region as West Dunbartonshire or Argyll depends on what first is in the list.
