Update 2016/02/06: Thanks to the Power BI team feedback – I managed to get this working correctly – check out Using filled maps in Microsoft Power BI for provinces, regions and counties in European countries for the explanation.
A couple of weeks ago I wanted to try out the new filled map functionality (also referred to as choropleth) in Power BI ( See Tutorial: Filled Maps (Choropleths) in Power BI) – I wanted to start with a very simple data set
| Province | Dutch name | French name | Capital | Surface | Population |
| Antwerp | Antwerpen | Anvers | Antwerpen | 2860 | 1813282 |
| East-Flanders | Oost-Vlaanderen | Flandre orientale | Gent | 2982 | 1477346 |
| Flemish Brabant | Vlaams-Brabant | Brabant flamand | Leuven | 2106 | 1114299 |
| Limburg | Limburg | Limbourg | Hasselt | 2414 | 860204 |
| West-Flanders | West-Vlaanderen | Flandre occidentale | Brugge | 3151 | 1178996 |
| Hainaut | Henegouwen | Hainaut | Mons | 3800 | 1335360 |
| Liège | Luik | Liège | Liège | 3844 | 1094791 |
| Luxembourg | Luxemburg | Luxembourg | Arlon | 4443 | 278748 |
| Namur | Namen | Namur | Namur | 3664 | 487145 |
| Brabant-Walloon | Waals-Brabant | Brabant wallon | Wavre | 1093 | 393700 |
Unfortunately I could not get the filled map to display correctly – I tried the province names in three different languages but nothing seemed to work.
According to Bing Maps Geographic Coverage – geocoding precision for Belgium should be fairly good. What are your experieces with this – do filled maps work correctly for provinces/regions outside of US? Leave a comment.
