How does one add Polygon's/ShapeFiles into PowerBI to use as filters?
Here is improvement idea already created - https://support.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi?query=Polygon
But very less votes.
You can't upload your own shape files to PowerBI, that feature is available in SQL Server Reporting Services and Datazen.
I am hoping that this will get MSFT enhancing PowerBI. Datazen also has it's limitations and yes, SSRS is an option. I would like to see PoweRBI evolve to be more competitive to a Tableau in ability and completeness. We lose customers to Tableau because of these limitations.
MSFT, please add these options into your PowerBI product. IT is taking too long for these sorts of enhancements to come into play and customers are not going to sit around waiting for the "one day it may make it into the product".
