Ask a Partner: Developing Custom Visuals for Power BI

[jberman]

What would be the best to upload shapefiles or custom shape files and integrate them into a visual? If this isn't built out, are there any plans to integrate this in the future?

I think you are asking about shpre files with GeoJSON data inside for mapping. If that is the case, I am not aware of anything Microsoft is doing to allow you to upload your own shape file to an out-of-the-box visual. Microsoft has provided the Share Map visual, but they control which shape files are loaded into it.

Seems like a great project for a community effort.
