Hi,
I'm currently working with Shape Maps in Power BI. I got a "JSON" file that has been recently converted from SHP files and I wanted to display it on the Shape Map with data. Unfortunately, something is wrong and when I'm choosing "Custom Map" and then my JSON, nothing happens. Shape Map is completely blank and - what Is also important - I can't even display map type keys. When I'm clicking on the sign just nothing happens. JSON normally works in QGIS and displaying correctly. I'm not sure is it helpful, but when I wanted to convert shape files into GEOJSON by myself in QGIS, after clicking "Save as" I've been moved to saving window where in "Coordinate System" I have "Incorrect Mapping" by default. Changing to normal mapping doesn't bring any effects.
What Should I do?
For Shape Maps you need TopoJSON format, not GeoJSON. Ask QGIS to export in TopoJSON, or use MapShaper.org to convert. Make sure not to lose the polygon attributes. The attribute name must match the name of the column in your data.
