Azure maps - need help with mapping region
- 9 months ago
Hi Sania-F ,
google maps recognizes parts of countries such as "South India" or continents such as "North Europe" and draws a suitable border. As far as I know and have experienced the Power BI Azure Maps visual is not able to do that. This means you have to create a mapping table to map your regions to countries. Hope that helps.

Hi Sania-F , if you are interested in the Azure Regions, there is a microsoft source to get these. Here is an Power Query Example based on a Web source:
let
Source = Json.Document(Web.Contents("https://datacenters.microsoft.com/wp-json/globe/regions")),
#"Converted to Table" = Table.FromList(Source, Splitter.SplitByNothing(), null, null, ExtraValues.Error),
#"Expanded Column1" = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(#"Converted to Table", "Column1", {"ID", "post_author", "post_date", "post_date_gmt", "post_content", "post_title", "post_excerpt", "post_status", "comment_status", "ping_status", "post_password", "post_name", "to_ping", "pinged", "post_modified", "post_modified_gmt", "post_content_filtered", "post_parent", "guid", "menu_order", "post_type", "post_mime_type", "comment_count", "filter", "continent", "location", "geographyId", "latitude", "longitude", "typeId", "isOpen", "hasGroundStation", "yearOpen", "dataResidency", "availableTo", "announcementLink", "productsByRegionLink", "productsByRegionLinkNonRegional", "availabilityZonesId", "availabilityZonesNearestRegionIds", "disasterRecoveryCrossregionIds", "disasterRecoveryInregionIds", "sustainabilityIds", "complianceIds", "sustainabilityFactsheet", "image", "circularAvailableLink", "TEST", "id", "displayName"}, {"ID", "post_author", "post_date", "post_date_gmt", "post_content", "post_title", "post_excerpt", "post_status", "comment_status", "ping_status", "post_password", "post_name", "to_ping", "pinged", "post_modified", "post_modified_gmt", "post_content_filtered", "post_parent", "guid", "menu_order", "post_type", "post_mime_type", "comment_count", "filter", "continent", "location", "geographyId", "latitude", "longitude", "typeId", "isOpen", "hasGroundStation", "yearOpen", "dataResidency", "availableTo", "announcementLink", "productsByRegionLink", "productsByRegionLinkNonRegional", "availabilityZonesId", "availabilityZonesNearestRegionIds", "disasterRecoveryCrossregionIds", "disasterRecoveryInregionIds", "sustainabilityIds", "complianceIds", "sustainabilityFactsheet", "image", "circularAvailableLink", "TEST", "id", "displayName"}),
