Multipoint GeoJson data to map

Hi,

 

I'm new to Power Bi and I would like to achieve a map with multipoints from a geoJson data.

 

Here is an example geoJson data with 2 points (coordinates)

 

{
"type": "FeatureCollection",
"features": [
{
"type": "Feature",
"geometry": {
"type": "MultiPoint",
"coordinates": [
[
4.446657,
51.02457
],
[
4.479846,
50.944796
]
]
},
"properties": {
"prop0": "value0"
}
}
]
}

And here is an example what I would like to achieve.

I couldn't find much information on web how I can use Power Bi with geoJson data. Is that possible to achieve multipoint map with Power Bi? How can i do that? Thanx

Step 1. Save your geojson in Json format : GeoJson.Json

Step 2. Paste below advanced query in the advanced editor in transform data :
 let
Source = Json.Document(File.Contents("C:\Users\Desktop\geojson.json")),
features = Source[features],
features1 = features{0},
#"Converted to Table" = Record.ToTable(features1),
#"Transposed Table" = Table.Transpose(#"Converted to Table"),
#"Promoted Headers" = Table.PromoteHeaders(#"Transposed Table", [PromoteAllScalars=true]),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Promoted Headers",{{"type", type text}, {"geometry", type any}, {"properties", type any}}),
#"Expanded geometry" = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(#"Changed Type", "geometry", {"type", "coordinates"}, {"type.1", "coordinates"}),
#"Expanded properties" = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(#"Expanded geometry", "properties", {"prop0"}, {"prop0"}),
#"Expanded coordinates" = Table.ExpandListColumn(#"Expanded properties", "coordinates"),
#"Extracted Values" = Table.TransformColumns(#"Expanded coordinates", {"coordinates", each Text.Combine(List.Transform(_, Text.From), ","), type text}),
#"Split Column by Delimiter" = Table.SplitColumn(#"Extracted Values", "coordinates", Splitter.SplitTextByDelimiter(",", QuoteStyle.Csv), {"coordinates.1", "coordinates.2"}),
#"Changed Type1" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Split Column by Delimiter",{{"coordinates.1", type number}, {"coordinates.2", type number}})
in
#"Changed Type1"

Step 3: Close and Apply 

step 4: Change the data type of cordinates.1 and cordinates.2 by selecting the columns to logitude and latitude respectively.
step 5 : pull the logitude and latitude in map visual.Final.PNGTransformdata-->Getdata-->Newquery-->advancededitor--> cody the code and paste--> applyTransformdata-->Getdata-->Newquery-->advancededitor--> cody the code and paste--> apply
