Filled Map USA won't fill

 

I'm trying to create a filled map on a country basis. I've just updated Power BI with the April version and it seems that the U.S.A now refuses to fill. 

The visual states that more location data is required. However, why are all the other countries filled without any issue? Do I need a specific label to ensure that the USA is included?

Figured it out. Make sure the data type is 'county/region' not 'place'! Perhaps they've tightened this up with the new version.

What label are you using for USA? If it is USA, perhaps try United States or United States of America. Power BI uses Bing for geocoding so I'm not sure why the April update would be causing you issues.

Tried that unfortunately, 

 

Currently tried:

 

USA,

U.S.A,

United States of America,

United States

 

None works,

 

The only reason that I mentioned the update was that it's the only thing that's changed since it worked a couple of days ago.

 

Thanks,
