Shape map disappear in January 2020 power bi version

Dear All,

 

I downloaded January 2020 version of power bi and I realized that preview feature is gone and shape map is also. Where can I get this shape map? Can I download it or any other options? Since it was a nice looking map and I need it. Please help!

Thank you.

AS I see it's not available for Report Server version. The last release was in January. So, if you dont need RS use the regular Desktop March version

Hi @Anonymous ,

Im not certain whether the shape map has anything problem in power bi desktop. However you can download the latest version of power bi desktop(https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=58494  March 2020) to enable Shape map visual under preview features in Options and restart power bi desktop to use Shape map normally.

 

Best Regards,

Yingjie Li
