The UK counties in Bing Maps for Excel and Power BI are not accurate, and there are multiple issues. This has been reported as far back as 2012.
If you create an Excel table with three columns: Country (which must be UK), County, and Units, and create a map from this data, it is far more accurate than creating a Geography table. Nonetheless, there are still gaps.
e.g. Leicester, Leicestershire, Cumbria, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, York.
Do you know if there are any plans to fix this?
To fill the gaps manually, it would be useful if Microsoft provided a list of the names they use, e.g., York. I have tried mapping to York, City of York and York Town with no success, but it's just guesswork without a definitive list.
Many thanks.

Hi @Jim Blair
Sorry for the inconvenience caused to you, this needs to wait for Microsoft to fix it.
But for a variety of reasons, the forum cannot promise you the planned features, their priorities, or the dates that we expect these features to be released.
Thanks for your understanding.
