Hi
When i try to create a shape map, there is no option to load a add a map as the shape visualization is missing.
I have turned on the shape map preview but the option is not there
I am using version Version: 2.59.5135.421 64-bit (June 2018)
Many Thanks
Stephen
Hi @nfum,
After you turn on the Shape map feature, please restart the Power BI desktop. See:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/desktop-shape-map
Also there is a new Power BI desktop August is released, you can update to this version if possible.
Best Regards,
Qiuyun Yu
