Column intended to post spatial objects (geometric) such as points and polygons is not working.

Hi,
I have data like this:
Type: Point
Location: 33.6923, -111.9403

 

Type: Polygon
Centroid: 33.6923, -111.9403
Number of Parts: 1
Number of Points: 100
Area: 3.14181802062415 Sq Mi / 8.13727131825592 Sq Km
Length: 6.28215174602486 Mi / 10.1101432195546 Km
Max Lat/Long: 33.7067812016777, -111.922895309489
Min Lat/Long: 33.6778187983223, -111.957704690511
My question is: Is it possible to work with this data? What will be its data type? And which POST API can I call to post this data on Power BI?

Thanks

We are currently using push dataset APIs(https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/push-datasets/datasets-post-dataset-in-group#col...). We see in the column we have to provide a datatype but which datatype should we provide it to be treated as spatial objects, are spatial objects even supported by push dataset APIs.
