Map Adding all my UK Geographical data doesn't work and I cant create a hierarchy

Im doing a demo which came with UK Council information, Derbyshire Dales, Amber valley etc

 

Ive attempted to add some more information so

 

District Council                                Country      District                 County                        Region                Postcode

Chesterfield Borough Council          England     Chesterfield         Derbyshire                   East Midlands     S4........

Nottingham City Council                 England     Nottingham        Nottinghamshire          East Midlands     N4........

 

And Ive modelled the following

Postcode      Postal Code

District         State or Province

County         County

Region         Country/Region

Country       Country/Region

 

But its just not working properly. Postcode is too much informaiton. I want to start at a higher level

Country and Region dont work at all

County works fine

District - Amber Valley and Chesterfield are both in the United Stated when they should be in the UK

 

Ive tried adding in Postcode when I use District but this doesnt change anything

Ive tried putting them all into a hierarchy put that stops everything working

 

Id love to be able to drill down Country to Region to County to District and finally to Postcode but I just cant get it working

I was able to get a version working. I'm not sure if it's exactly what you need.

Using Map visual : pull Country, Region , County , District , Postcode into the Location well. Country has to be categorised as State/Province (take that up with Bing, if you like).  Use the drilldown features in the visualisation to experiment.

Thats what Ive been doing but it just doesnt work for me

Please be more specific about what's not working now. At the very least you'll have the same model as i now have.

Which Map visualisation are you using?

Start at Country level. Does that show correctly?

I added all the specifics to the start of the past

 

And Ive modelled the following

Postcode      Postal Code

District         State or Province

County         County

Region         Country/Region

Country       Country/Region

 

But its just not working properly. Adding them seperately......

(Im using Map) Postcode is fine

Country and Region dont work at all

County works fine

District - Amber Valley and Chesterfield are both in the United Stated when they should be in the UK

 

Adding them in one by one from Country, Nothing gets added into the map because Country and Region dont work.

Adding the ones in that work

 

Adding County and then District still doesnt work because Ive still got two districts in the united States when they should be in thr UK. Adding Postcode doesnt change this either. District amber Valley and District Chesterfield
