Mapping help

I want to create a map of one state and not the entire US. My data contains a column for country, state, county and region. There are around 25 different regions and each region is several counties combined.  

now here is my problem- I want to created a filled map of that one state where regions get color coded by the variable percent. How do I do that?

    Do you have a TopoJSON file with the contours and attributes?

    Hi Amittal ,

    I suggest you to try Shape Map in Power BI Desktop.

    For reference: Use custom maps

      I found a shape file online for the state and added it using custom maps. But when I add region from my data file onto the map it does not recognize it. Any recommendations?

        I found a shape file online

        That shape file needs to contain attributes for your "regions", and the same column name must exist in your data model and be categorized as "place"
