Create Your Own Custom Map for Power BI
Hi Everyone!
I tried mjfulke method to create a power bi map for Portugal (only the continent for now), but when i import the resulting map into power bi, i noticed that our district reegions were not able to be rendered in power bi desktop witch was a major disapointment :( .
Is there something else i have to do in order to be able to have the regions available in the continent to assign data specific to each district/region, with this method you explained ?
Thank you! :)
If you made it through all the steps it should work. If it looked good in mapshaper.org you are close.
The regions have to be part of the shape data itself to be available.
They should be available though for all major countries.
Theres also some strange bug you can encounter when importing regions that needs fixing via mapshaper command line. Just google the bug and "mapshaper command line" there was a tutorial somewhere how to do it.
Don't remember the bug anymore but I encountered it when importing german postal code area data:
Works great!
Found some KML's for Belgium and tried right away, works like a charm.
Tried this before without success, now in just a few minutes I was done!
Nice job!

i had this problem, but solve in another way in this link : http://www.projanco.com/
We would like to display labels next to points/arcs/polygons in the Shape Map visualization. We would like these labels to be continuously displayed on the map, i.e. not as tooltips.
The idea is to use these labels for street names on a Shape Map that's displaying a small part of a city.
Is this technically feasible? If so, how?
