I have to achieve one functionality in a shape map in PBI, which I am not able to achieve. Request inputs if this is possible.

 

Problem: I have a shape map with state names for a country. Now these states are mapped into few clusters. So assuming we have 30 states in the country and these 30 states are mapped as 5 clusters. Now if i click on a particular state(s1) on the map, the expectation is that other related states(s2 & s6) in the cluster(s1 is in this cluster) should also be selected & highlighted.

 

Hope anyne can help me with this requirement.

So the Microsoft Shape Map is one level.  There's a certifed visual https://appsource.microsoft.com/en-us/product/power-bi-visuals/WA104381044  that uses topojson files.  I've used it successfully to map data from a US state down to the county level.   This should help you out.   Tip,  host the topojson files on a public website like github.
