How to use shape Maps

Hello, guys,

 

I wanted to use shape maps which is a nice chart from Power BI but I got lots of problems in installing it on the Power BI as there are just some coutries already predefined. 

 

To start this you need to go on https://github.com/deldersveld/topojson/tree/master/countries to get your country and save the .json file. Many thanks to the author of this compilation as he made our work easier. 

 

I selected Romania as country and the next step was to upload the saved file .json here:

 

You can see now that my map for Romania is there. Up to here everything is perfect and the next step now is to create the map: 

 

I have a field with the countries of Romania which I drag to Location and I have a list with emails for some companies from those countries and I want to count them, so drag Email field to Color Saturation, right click and choose Count. 

 

 

Now I got my map ready to be use and I added a few rules there to get colored by the values. So if I have minumum value is 5 the color to be red, if the Center value is 25 the color to be yellow and if the values are above 50 the color to be green. This is the results on my case:

 

I hope this helps and saves your time!

 

Best regards,

Alin Oprita

      I can see people replies so I believe that this option is enabled. 

       

      Please let me know if I should enable anything else as this is my first post 😋

       

      Thank you
