Custom Shape Maps Unexpected Error
Ok, I think I might know the potential cause of your issue. When you pulled the file off of GitHub, my guess is that you did not save the actual json file. Instead, you probably right-clicked in the ReadMe and did a Save As on the link to the blob. Is that correct?
GitHub shows a preview of TopoJson, GeoJson, etc. blobs on their own page. Unless you download the entire repo, you need to click through the link and save the Raw json instead of the blob preview.
Not sure where your issue lies, but I did not run into an issue with my world-countries.json file. Here's a link to the PBIX as well, so check to see if you can open it: https://www.dropbox.com/s/2eii01rb17ixwhy/WorldCountries.pbix?dl=0
I loaded up your 20m US Counties json map into the Power BI drilldown chloropleth map, added the GEOID from the file into my database to correspond with the correct county I wanted, did the same as well for the states, and gave each County/State combination in my access database a unique ID. However, when I try to filter out a specific county in a specific state, the map will populate all of the counties in the US with the same county name even though if is not in the correct state. Do you know a way to only have it display only the county that is in the state that I set a filter for?
