how to successfully use Shape Map
You need to do a few things. Firstly, have a column in your data which holds the Country information you have mentioned. Select that field in your field picker and use the Model Tab of your menu ribbon and give that field a 'Data Category' of Country. Put this into the location area of the visual setup.
Next you need a field that is going to act as the highlighter for your shape map, usually this will be a value field such as "Revenue" or something. Place this field into the "Colour saturation" area of the visual setup.
Lastly, in your visual set up there is an icon that looks like a paint roller, select this and you will have a grouping called 'Data colors'. This will let you choose what your data saturation gradient is, i.e. red to green.
Many many ways to set this visual up, but the above is a common method that should hopefully get you started.
