[Custom map] Need Help ! :)

arouillard — Fri, 12 May 2017 13:32:08 GMT

Hello,

I'm currently working in a company which have it own data model concerning geographical regions.

They don't use the internationnal standards so I need to use my own ShapeFile, and convert it to a TOPOJson to use the "Shape visual" in Power BI.

It works, but it's not really satisfaying, to be honest.

Could you help me to find a solution to answer to all (or maximum) of these needs :

- Custom regions in a map.
- Possibility to color the regions independently
- Possibility to do a Multiple selections
- Possibility to Drill Down in this map (Area > MD > Country)

Thanks everyone for your help...

Regards,

Custom visual is not only chance but challenge as well. Hope the following repositories are helpful.

I don't think that's usefull because i'm using Shape Visual curently.

Here is my custom shape map :

2 problems:

-> I can't colorize each regions with a different color (no "Show all" option avalaible ?)

-> No drilldown avalaible (No possible to have Regions > Country)

Do anyone have a good knowledge of the Shapes Visuals ?

Regards,
