Hi egilbert23 ,

 

I’d like to acknowledge the valuable input provided by HotChilli . Their initial ideas were instrumental in guiding my approach. However, I noticed that further details were needed to fully understand the issue

 

The following link shows how to use the spatial tools QGIS and MapShaper to create and manipulate spatial files and how to visualise them in Power BI using Shape Maps.
How To Create Custom Shape Maps for Power BI — DiscoverEI

 

Before adding a custom spatial file to the Shape Map visual object in Power BI, we need it to make sure it is formatted correctly. The required format for the shape map is:
File Type: The spatial file needs to be in JSON format.
File Size: It's a good idea to simplify your spatial file first.
Projection: Make sure your spatial file is projected correctly.

 

If your Current Period does not refer to this, please clarify in a follow-up reply.

 

Best Regards,

Clara Gong
