custom map using in Shape map visual is upside down

I draw a shape map using QGIS. By default it is using EPSG:4326

After export it to geojson, I import to https://mapshaper.org/. The shape map is still showing correctly. 

Then I export it to topojson file and import to Power BI Shape map visual. Then my map become upside down. 

I searched some old discussion saying Power BI is using EPSG:4326. Could you please advise what should I do to fix it?

Hi @Azure_newbie ,

Please refer to this blog to see if the solution helps.

In QGIS, make sure your project and layers are using the EPSG:4326 coordinate system. -->

--> When exporting to geojson, ensure that the coordinate system is set to EPSG:4326.

--> Import the geojson file into mapshaper.org and verify that the map is displayed correctly.

--> Export the file as topojson from mapshaper.org.

--> Import the topojson file into Power BI Shape map visual and check if the map is displayed correctly.
