Hey HarryS ,

 

your preview pane looks odd, the screenshot below shows all the preview features from the most current release (April 2021):

It's somewhat weird, as I never heard that one of the earlier releases does not come with the shape map visual

I recommend that you update to the most recent Power BI Desktop release, as just the most recent version of Power BI Desktop is supported: What is Power BI Desktop? - Power BI | Microsoft Docs

Nevertheless, you can consider to use a custom visual called icon-map: https://icon-map.com

 

Hopefully, this provides some ideas, on how to tackle your challenge.

 

Regards,

Tom

    Hi Tom,

     

    Thanks for getting back to me. I'm now thinking it might be something to do with the way my organisation has rolled out the programme (they are always doing weird things with permissions etc.). I will get in touch with IT + give the icon map a try.
