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.
Post your dataset. Any unicode characters?
deldersveld It happens with any data set. It even hapens if I type in a random list of countries through Enter Data. Here:
Country Amount Australia 87 Brazil 12 Canada 3574 China 564 France 254 India 235 Italy 5254 Japan 84 Mexico 4347 Russia 89 United States 135 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
Yes I can open it with no trouble. I guess I can only see that it works for other people, but I can't make it work for me. Another worthless new feature I can't use in this damned program.
