How to Create Custom Regions on a Map

Question

Hi! I'm new to Power BI so I'm not sure if it has this function.

I have data on events that happened in Michigan and where in Michigan they happened. However, instead of specific cities, we use regions. This is what the regions look like.

I would like to create a map visual on Power BI where we can see the number of events that happened in each region. However, I'm not sure how to specify regions on a map in Power BI.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

petrified_goose , You need to use shape map, For that you need to have a json map of required region
