Hi MirkoBotello 

 

Is not easy to find a custom shapemap file because creating one takes a lot of effort. If you're looking for something divided by departments, you might need to hire someone to create that for you. GADM has some free shapemap files (.shp) by administrative region.

Power BI requires them to be in topojson format so they need to converted first. You can use https://mapshaper.org/ for that.

    A shapemap file usually has some kind of map keys. Any of these keys, depending on the desired granularity must exist in you data and to be added to the location tile of shapemap.
