create user defined heat map with .json file

Hello, i´tryin to find an .jason file which include all post codes from Germany to import this map in Power BI Desktop to create a heat map by postcode level.

I found some .json file, but I was unable to import any of them.

Did everyone try to do this in Power BI, or ist there a visual i can use for this?

kind regards and many thanks

Oliver

Hello, i can' t upload the .json file because it´s too big, > 200 MB.

I tried files from different links->

https://www.jsonbix.com/karten-vorlagen/europa/deutschland/plz-postleitzahlen/

https://www.suche-postleitzahl.org/plz-karte-erstellen

https://www.jsonbix.com/karten-vorlagen/europa/

https://hub.arcgis.com/datasets/esri-de-content::postleitzahlengebiete-in-deutschland/explore?locati...

But non of them worked for me.

I wanted to creat such map in Power BI.

Sales differenc by postcode level.

Is there any Power BI map visual i can use for Germany (5 digits post codes)?

then just provide a subset, its impossible to help without a sample of the data

I am not sure what you were struggling with exactly but based on the data you gave  me i was able to do this, i used arcgis because it is quite flexible on the mapping but you need to edit the settings of arcgis itself.  

 

i set the data category of the postcodes to postcodes in power bi and then in arcgis made it specific to germany.

not sure if this solves your issue.  if you have any specific questions let me know.
