I am still very new to PowerBi and would like to ask for some advice.
I have a SQL DB, and the table I am referencing has a STATE column.
The values in this are like WA, NT, SA, NSW, QLD, VIC.
I am trying to create a Filled Map, but can`t get the states to map correctly.
So, my question is, is there a way to make PowerBi read the State column, and if the value is "NT", have it use "Northern Territory" to plot on the map?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @kevinsray ,
You can consider to add a mapping table with full description state and abbreviation state, then related column as state field and use on your map visual.
As official document mentioned, I'm not so recommend to use abbreviation locations on map visual:
