Power BI Filled Map

Hi, How can I make a filled map for India at a state level? I want to color the Indian states by a certain metric. Thanks in advance, Chirag

Hi Shirag,

Assuming you have activated the 'ShapeMap' preview feature from desktop Options.

You need a ShapeFile for India which I have attached, sourced from here:
https://github.com/deldersveld/topojson/blob/master/countries/india/india-states.json

Change the default map options to upload the json.

You need to map you data to the Indian States in the shape file

I believe you can then your drag your data to the colour saturation section and it should work.

I don't have your data to add to the Power BI file but I have created the file for India shown.

Good description is here:

Hi,

Thanks a lot for your help! This works but now the only issue is that the JSON file seems to be old since a couple of Indian states are not covered in this file and the shape of Kashmir is also not as per the Indian Map. I will try and find an updated version of this Json file.

Thanks again for your help!

Regards,
