Trouble with creating filled UK Maps

Hi Everyone,

 

I am trying to create a filled/shape map of  the UK on Power BI Desktop.

 

I have a full list of UK Postcodes, I want to use shape maps on Power BI to overlay a whole bunch of KPIs by postcode and district. I can use Heat Map or Globe (default map) within power BI but it doesn’t display what i’d like as powerfully as a shape map with set boundaries would do.

 

I also have the KML, Geojson and Topojson files.

 

Could anyone please advise on this.

 

Many thanks

    Hi Arash,

     

    If it is convenient, could you share your json files and your expected output, so that I can have tests. You can upload it to OneDrive or Dropbox and post the link here. Do mask sensitive data before uploading.)

     

    In addition, you could have a good look at the articles below to know how to create the Filled Map and Shape Map.
