Birmingham (B) postcode missing from UK Filled Map

I have data which contains a column for top level UK postcode, for example BS for Bristol, CR for Croydon, S for Sheffield, N for North London etc.

 

All of them seem to take their place on the filled map, except B (Birmingham). There is just a hole in the map where Birmingham should be:

 

 

I have tried to raise a support ticket as a Pro user, but the support page does not let me log in.........

 

If anybody from Microsoft can get back to me with either a solution or a way to log a support ticket it would be most appreciated.

Hi Simon_Hou,

 

Thanks for the reply.

 

I am not using the lowest level, I am using one of the highest levels - 

A full postcode example is B15 1EJ.

I am just using B.

 

The map correctly fills for every other postcode that I have.

 

How can I raise a support ticket to have this fixed?

 

Kind regards,

Joe
