NUTS Area Code - Filled Map

Can PowerBI recognize NUTS Area Codes of Europe to produce a heat map / filled map ?

 

Or, are there any alternative ways to produce a mapping of NUTS Codes to corresponding regions or lat/longs which PowerBI filled maps can recognize?

Hi @gkrish,

 

As far as I know, Bing map doesn't support NUTS codes, while Power BI filled maps use Bing map to provide geo-coding. To create a filled map, the location data should include Bing Map-supported geographic data, such as country/region, state/province, or postal code. So for your requirement, I'm afraid it can be achieved currently.

After five years, has PowerBI learned to recognize NUTS and LAU area codes of Europe to produce a heat map / filled map ? If not, is there any other solution in PowerBI to do that?

After three years, has PowerBI learned to recognize NUTS and LAU area codes of Europe (https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/nuts/local-administrative-units) to produce a heat map / filled map ? If not, is there any other solution in PowerBI to do that?
