Area layer - States with same names not recognized

[koenboeur_bijst]

Dear Community,

I'm facing an issue when using the map visual with area layer for two particular states ('provinces') in Belgium and The Netherlands. They both have a state called 'Limburg' which is not shown on the map when the two countries are in the selection together, but is shown otherwise. (In Qlik Sense September release)

Some background:

• I've built an excel file with a listing of all cities (+ postal codes) in each state for certain countries in Europe. A line looks like this:

• I've declared the location with the field of the state, and added the field with the country:

• This approach works fine when having the two countries selected separately:

• When selecting both Belgium and the Netherlands, all states in both countries are recognized, except for the both states called Limburg:

Does anybody has any idea how to overcome this issue with the same data set? As it is working for the countries separately, and a field with the country is present, I don't really get why this is not working.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Cheers,

Koen
