Multipolygon to shape map

I have a column based on territory that is in the format MULTIPOLYGON((( COORDINATES, COORDINATES, COORDINATES )))

How do I convert this into a shape file for mapping?

Need Help

      Hi lbendlin, thanks for the response.  So if for example I have 500 rows, 1 column has all the mutipolygon values, another column has latitude, and another has longitude.  Would I extract those three columns and load into mapshaper?  Is there anything else needed?  Then just load them back up into Power BI as a shape file?  Thanks for your help.
