Creating Maps With Linear Geometries
Hi all,
I have a shapefie that have linear geometries that represent roads. Power BI doesn't seem to support this...
Does anyone know a way around this? This seems to be fairly easily done in Tableau...
No Power BI map currently supports linestrings. If you want to try a potential workaround, you could try converting lines to polygons using a tool such as QGIS, then converting to TopoJSON and bringing it into the Shape Map. That *may* work.

deldersveld Thanks for that! That worked! Now I have a second question (I am new to custom maps so please bare with me), how can I see all the attributes that is within the file that I have imported?
Right now, I only get 2 columns and I would like to join an exel spreadsheet to this spatial file so I am able to represent my data.
Thanks for your help!
