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:
Use Shape maps in Power BI Desktop (Preview) - Power BI | Microsoft Docs
