Hello -

I am looking to use a shape map for the UK and I know Power BI allows you to add your own Shape Map, but I am looking for a UK Map by Postal Code.
Does anyone know where I can find that and how to use it in Power BI? I need help quickly if possible!

Cheers!
Ryan

Hi Anonymous ,

Have you managed to find a solution to your question on UK JSON maps?

If not, please find some links to other, absolutely fab tech geeks; like us, who have created some very useful map-related resources; and specifically, UK map files:

1) Do-It-Your-Self Option via the Geo Json site: http://geojson.io : here you can click and build your own poly shape over the top of a map. The site then lets you export the end result as a json, ready for uploading into Power BI, awesome.

2) David Eldersveld Git Hub Site: @deldersveld , David is like the father Chrismas of Json map files. David has built up a great library of GeoJson files for most of the worlds major countries and cities

Davids Git Hub Site: https://github.com/deldersveld/topojson/blob/master/countries/united-kingdom/uk-counties.json

Davids' Power BI blog on Json mapping visual: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Issues/polygon-mapping-power-BI-Desktop/idc-p/164475#M6542

@ruthpozuelo Ruth's Video explains how to make use of David's files and the map keys you need to map to your postcode lookup table: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hzy1YbTjDaA

3) Martin Chorley (aka martinjc ) also has topoJSON files for:

> Local Authority Districts (LAD), Eurostat boundaries (NUTS level 1 & 2) for England, Scotland and Wales and a few others.

Martin's Git Hub Site: https://github.com/martinjc/UK-GeoJSON
Martin's bespoke Json map website: https://martinjc.github.io/UK-GeoJSON/

4) Last but not list is the official UK Office for National Statistics (ONS) Open Geography portal which should have the official up to date Geocode maps and info for all the different types of map data related to the UK:
http://geoportal.statistics.gov.uk/search?q=Hierarchical%20Representation%20of%20UK%20Statistical%20Geographies ;

I must say I did find this site difficult to pinpoint what I wanted, so I can't 100% say you will find a usable Json file here.

If any of the above help (which I’m sure one of them will), please mark this as your accepted solution. 🤗👍🏾
