Hello,
I'm currently working in a company which have it own data model concerning geographical regions.
They don't use the internationnal standards so I need to use my own ShapeFile, and convert it to a TOPOJson to use the "Shape visual" in Power BI.
It works, but it's not really satisfaying, to be honest.
Could you help me to find a solution to answer to all (or maximum) of these needs :
- Custom regions in a map.
- Possibility to color the regions independently
- Possibility to do a Multiple selections
- Possibility to Drill Down in this map (Area > MD > Country)
Thanks everyone for your help...
Regards,

I don't think that's usefull because i'm using Shape Visual curently.
Here is my custom shape map :
2 problems:
-> I can't colorize each regions with a different color (no "Show all" option avalaible ?)
-> No drilldown avalaible (No possible to have Regions > Country)
Do anyone have a good knowledge of the Shapes Visuals ?

Custom visual is not only chance but challenge as well. Hope the following repositories are helpful.
