SYMPTOMS
When you create a Microsoft Map object in Microsoft Excel, the only symbol that is available in the Microsoft Map Control dialog box is the Graduated symbol (five-pointed star).



CAUSE
This problem occurs when the data that you use to create the map uses ZIP/Postal Codes as geographic data.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.



MORE INFORMATION
If you format the first column of the data with a postal code number format and then create a Microsoft Map object on the worksheet, the only symbol that you can display on the map to represent the data is the Graduated symbol.
