interactive polygons on map

Hi   -Power BI does NOT natively perform point-in-polygon calculations,  you can use Azure Maps visual in Power BI (supports custom polygon(GeoJSon).

use this link: geojson.io | powered by Mapbox to convert your text with accurate coordniates.

Hope this helps.

Hi Michal_M

Yes, the correct approach for your requirement is to use the Azure Maps visual with GeoJSON polygons.

It supports:

• Clickable polygon regions
• Cross-filtering other visuals in the report
• A more future-proof solution compared to older map visuals

How to start:

1. Convert your TXT polygon coordinates into GeoJSON format
2. Add the Azure Maps visual in Power BI
3. Load the GeoJSON as a polygon layer
4. Enable selection to allow filtering of other visuals

Important: Power BI does not read TXT polygon files directly—you must convert them into GeoJSON first.

Please mark this as solved if it resolves your issue.

Thanks for the update. Azure Maps doesn’t read GeoJSON from a column (Location field), so that’s why nothing is showing.

Please make sure you’re using Azure Maps visual (not Map/Filled Map). Then check the Format pane for Layers or Reference layer options to load polygons. If you don’t see this option, it may depend on your Power BI version.

You can try these steps it might help. Let us know how it works on your end.
