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.
Best Regards,
Cherry
