Can we show Indian districts on any visualization of power BI?

Hi All,

 

I have a data set in which district wise sales of a particular Indian state is there. When ever I am choosing the Map function it is not able to show any visulization. How to do this? 

 

I want a fill in map or a density bubble map of the same. 

 

Please help!

Hi @rohanjha1988 ,

 

Does your geographic location data all come from a certain state in India?

Can you show the geographic location data?

@MariaP created a Shape Map for India a while ago. See the accepted solution here:

JSON file for India can be found here: https://github.com/deldersveld/topojson/blob/master/countries/india/india-states.json

 

Are you setting a Data category to State for your Indian states? Could you share example data so we could try to mock it up?

@rohanjha1988 One way is to use lat long for the district. In case you have a shape map in JSON you can do it.

 

I have not done on Power BI, but for d3js, we were able to get the district map.

 

In case you have JSON map, you can refer these
