I'm having an issue when I try to create a Shape Map. When I select the data it is blank. I've tried/troubleshot the following:
- Shape Map visual option is turned on in Preview Settings
- Not a network issue, all other Power BI maps work
- Map Data is categorized correctly (i.e. city and state)
- Value data is numerical and not summarized
I would appreciate any help. Thanks,
Solved! Go to Solution.

It was initially set on US States and blank, I then selected another country and the map appeared. I went back to US States and it worked. Thanks for the help!
