Using shape card and using a world map
Hi,
I´m currently working on a shape card. However, I am facing the following problem:
I would like to use a custom map of the whole world. When I'm loading the TopoSJON link in to Power BI, there is only a grey square with a lot of lines. The link is from the following website:
The steps I do:
1. Click on Link
2. Select the ZIP file of TopoSjon with scale 1:1 million
3. Open the link and download document CNTR_BN_01M_2020_3035.JSON
4. Add it to Power BI ->Shape -> Add assignment
Who can help me map the world with the right TopoSJON data?
Thanks in Advance
Hi Anonymous ,
1.To enable Shape Map, select File > Options and Settings > Options > Preview Features, then select the Shape Map Visual checkbox. You'll need to restart Power BI Desktop after you make the selection.
2.Then I enter some simply data to create a Shape Map visual:
id name postal value us-mi Michigan MI 1 us-ak Alaska AK 2 us-hi Hawaii HI 3 us-fi Florida FL 4 Then, in the Visualizations pane with the Format section selected, expand the Shape section and select + Add Map to import the TopoJSON file:
Refer to:
