I have a column based on territory that is in the format MULTIPOLYGON((( COORDINATES, COORDINATES, COORDINATES )))
How do I convert this into a shape file for mapping?
Use Mapshaper.org to convert into topoJSON.
Hello @lbendlin, thankyou for the answer. So if, for example, I have 500 rows, 1 column has all mutipolygon values, another column has latitude and another column has longitude. Would you extract those three columns and load into mapshaper? Is anything else needed? So, just upload them back to Power BI as a shape file? Thank you for your help.
