Shape Map - Shape format options not available

Hi

 

I'm trying to overlay a map showing various postcodes with details of the London ULEZ so I can see if postcodes fall inside it.

 

I've found my way to the Preview Shape Map feature that looks promising but when I add a visual, I'm getting no options to format the map.  Apparently, I should have a Shape tab with Map and Projection, Zoom etc but instead there is just the generic Title, Background etc.

 

Have I got to turn something else on?

 

Desktop has been restarted and I've also tried this on a couple of PCs

 

Thanks

hi, @garycarters 

I have tese on my side, it works well.

Please install the latest version power bi desktop and then try it again. 

Version:2.68.5432.841

And you need to drag data field into the shape map visual first, then these options will be available.

This is my demo pbix file, Please see if it works properly.
