Shape map not displaying correctly

Hi,

I have converted geojson file to topojson for use in Power BI. The originally geojson file is correct (tested another place), and the topojson preview is good in the converter-tool. However, it will not display correctly in Power BI (see below).

The file extension is also .toposjson, not just .json as other custom map files I have worked with. What can be the problem? When I display the map keys some of them are still in json-format.

Hope to get a hint of how to proceed!

 

Thanks 🙂
