Sample datasource for Map vizualizations

Hi,

 

Where can I find the Map Visualizations Sample file for the following tutorial.

Thanks in advance.

Hi @Kalyana,


It seems like the source data has from web, perhaps you can take a look at below blog to know more this visual.

 

The solution aka workaround

So, apparently, the map expects a 3-letter country code, not 2. Provided that you don’t have it in your data, the easiest solution is to add a separate country table into your model. The ultimate data source — Wikipedia.

 

In Power BI Desktop click on “Get data” and select Web.

Enter the link to the Wikipedia page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1 and hit OK.
