Hi @shubham22

 

@rajendraongole1 Thank you very much for your prompt reply, and here allow me to share some of the content.

 

You can consider customizing the map.

 

In Power BI Desktop, ensure the Shape map visual is enabled and select it from the Visualizations pane.

 

Under Map settings in the Format pane, select Custom map, then choose Add a map type and upload your TopoJSON file.

 

Drag your data fields (e.g., Zipcode and Area ID) onto the appropriate buckets to display your custom boundaries.

 

You can view the link below for more details:

Hi @shubham22 - you should be able to use the ArcGIS map or Icon map
