issues with Excel 3d Maps accuracy

Anonymous

I use Excel 3d maps daily for work.

I've noticed that recently maps I've created a few months ago don't match maps I've recreated today with the same data set.

Specifically, certain zips boundaries are no longer shown on the map.  

For example, here are three bordering zip codes near cleveland ohio (30575, 30567, 30507).  

When I open them in my old excel 3d maps, they all show as distinct zips as they should.

If I open a new blank excel file and map it, 30575 is no longer shown where it should be but is overlaid on 30567.

A quick cross reference on Bing maps shows Bing maps to be accurate.  

I've tried repairing my installation of office 365 without any success.  Any help is appreciated.

    Tisky,

    Thanks for your support.  Pardon the duplication.

    That being said, you seemed to have no issues understanding the issue and from your response sounded like you had already escalated it to the next level of support.

    The individual on the other request/thread is still trying to simulate the issue and he's asked me for help/support on simple ways to use the excel map feature.  That doesn't feel comforting when excel support is asking for me to teach them.  I just need this issue elevated so the appropriate team can work on a fix to the glitch that myself and all my coworkers are experiencing.
