You need to put a data field into Location first. Then you can edit the map under Shape.

    Thanks Simon_Hou-MSFT .

     

    I did succeed to manage the visual.

    However when I import a personal topojson file I don't see the map correctly.

    I've used this link http://mapshaper.org/  for the conversion of my personal shape file to topojson  format.

    But this resulted a bad converstion.

    Someone  had a similar problem but he used to arc map which I don't have.

    http://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Problem-using-custom-shape-map/td-p/55795

     

    He configued the conversion with  a "WGS 84 / EPSG 4326 " option . But I don't know if this can we implied in mapshaper.

     

    Do you have an idea how can I convert the shape file correctly to topojson ?

     

    Thanks
