Show Polygon Map in PowerBI
Hi,
I am new to PowerBI, would you mind helping me out, please? I would like to create a polygon map below. The map itself will contain two up to three values/row inside it. The polygon is available in CAD.dwg file.
I have created a spatial join file with GIS containing (location-ID, state plane coordinate northing easting). I am having a difficult time and step by step guidance is really appreciated. Thank you.

I did try as you mentioned, but it gave me weird lines.
but then i found other topic:

which led me to another link:

and voila... its there Thank you for helping me out.

Hi Anonymous ,
How about shape map?
Here is a reference.

Thanks,
I think the shape map is the one that I need, but still, I am unable to work with it.
I follow all the instructions on this link:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/visuals/desktop-shape-map
but still, it shows nothing.
Most of the description of the location is referred to as a well-known location, like US states, but in this case, I am using a specific ID called "DRAWPT".

I've also been looking into this and the avenue I want to go down when I find time is using Python's geoPanda's class. My understanding to date is that the Py visual gives you the flexibility to manage layers in your map as well as geometries.
