Shape Map not showing Data
Hi,
I am having trouble showing data on a shape map.
The data is correctly loaded (it is working with other visualisations) and the custom topoJSON is loaded correctly (it is showing) but I cant seem to get the data linked to the map.
Any assistance/guidance would be much appreciated!
Hi DanielSlomoi ,
To use your TopoJSON map file, add a ShapeMap visual to your report and add some data to the Location and Color saturation buckets. To quickly get data into a model so you can test Shape Map, you can copy one of the tables at the end of this article, then select Enter Data from the Home ribbon.

What field do you have in the Location field well for the visualisation?
To link the data to the shape map, you have to get a unique field from the data matched up with a hidden field from the shape.
If you click on 'View map keys' in the Shape section on the Format tab, you will see the hidden fields.
