    I had been using QGIS on a Mac, so I tried it instead on Windows and it finally worked. And the map works in all 3 projections in Power BI.

Hi Freginier

 

Thanks so much for taking the time to respond and provide detailed instructions!

 

I tried exporting in mapshaper using the no-quantization option, and I checked the outputted json file in a text editor that it no longer contains "transform". However, it still looks the same when I load it into Power BI.

 

Any other thoughts?

 

Thanks so much again!

Hi mappr 

 

Is it possible for you to share the shapefile ? so that someone can look into it, recreate the issue, and find a solution?

    Hi kushanNa and freginier 

     

    Originally, I used QGIS on a Mac to create the shape file for importing into mapshaper and had the problem as described, even after trying the no quantize specification.

     

    So I tried instead to use QGIS in Windows and found that the custom map now displays properly in Power BI with all three projections, and I didn't have to use the no quantize option.

     

    So maybe it's an issue of QGIS on the Mac.

    Thanks again for taking the time to respond!
