Shape map Canada using JSON file

Hello,

 

I want to do a Shape map for Canada, using https://www.diva-gis.org/gdata. I then converted the zip file using https://mapshaper.org/, therefore creating a json file.

I have 2 problems :

1) I would like to open the json file, using Power BI - file is too big

2) Using Shape map, there is too much data to process.

 

I did filter by provinces, but not much success.

 

Louis

@Louis66 Not sure if it will help but you can try using the Synoptic Panel custom visual instead and using an svg file for Canada provinces.
