I've been having a lot of issues with this filled map recently and can't figure out how to fix it. And even when I do counties the state field and county field mix together. I've got my 'State' field categorized to state and I'm still having this issue. Do I need to have a country field as well? All of my states have data and this is what my filled map shows.
Can someone help me with this issue?
Solved! Go to Solution.
*** One quick disclosure, I WISH it didn't work this way, but sometimes this is what you have to do to get BING maps happy... ***
See below where I have <State Name> "State" <County Name> in one field i'm using as Location on the filled map. I have the 'Data Category' under Modeling set to 'State or Province'. Thank you BING MAPS! haha

Thank You!
See my 'how it's supposed to work' example 1 below, and example 2 of 'how to get it to work'... For some reason, ONLY Cobb County GA shows up on the 'how it's supposed to work' method. I had to create a merged column more clearly defining what i'm looking for in exmaple 2 to get the proper results!
When dealing wth filled maps remember the location 'logic' is based on Bing searching. So, basically I like to think about manually typing in a Bing search... am I searching for 'Baldwin' and 'AL' in Bing Maps, or what if I searched for 'Baldwin County AL' in Bing Maps!
Hope this helps, and don't forget to assign your location a Data Category under Modeling on the Ribbon!

Thank you for the response. I think it worked for county level but I am still unsure of how to fix it at a state level.

Wow, I'm running into this issue big time right now. I had to do "New York State" instead of "New York".
Yet, somehow it's magically fine with Bavaria, England, Antioquia, etc.
This is absolutely insane. They really need a guide on how to properly format this information; it broke many of my public online samples. Maybe I'm missing something. I saw a little sentence in the June summary saying it's changing, but I didn't see any documentation on how to deal with the change.
Now I've got to figure out how in the world it's going to accept all the city names I have that aren't showing up. I'm using the official international English designations, but apparently that's not good enough for the new Bing geocode API.
I completely agree. This is a mess.
Wow, that is inconvenient to do. I don't recall this filled map being that hard to fill before a few months ago.
Thank you for the help. That has solved my problem.
I agree it was easier a few months ago... not sure what changed. 😞
