Issue with locating places on map using Postal Code.

[Anonymous]

I have an issue  with locating places on map using Postal Code. I followed following step to resolved it but didn't work.

1. select category "Country/Region for your country field and set category "Postal code" for your postal code field
2. on Map visual, drop Country and Postal field as shown below
3. 
4. Click Hierarchary drill down button and you will see your data in correct country/postal area 

 Here is my sample data:

  Total Consumer  Postal code    Country

   53                     0901              Norway

I followed step 1 and 2 as mentioned but when I drill down it shows location of Mozambique insted of Norway.

Any help is appreciated.

Hi @Anonymous,

In my opinion, I think postal code '0901' is too short to accurately locate. (there are other places who has the similar postal code, they will also affect the locate)

I'd like to suggest you to use a calculated column who contains detail address information to help map visual to accurate the location.

For example:

Place = [Postal Code]&","&[Country]
