How to group EU countries and show them in a map?

[gianlu-gaggio]

Hello,

I am new and I would like to create a dashboard with EU countries divided in different sub-regions (e.g. Belgium, Luxembourg and Netherlands would be grouped into Benelux), and show them on a map. The problem is that Power Bi does not recognise Benelux as a value for the map.

Colouring the countries of the same "region" with the same colour would not be a feasible solution, as the entire dashboard should show values of different subregions.

Thanks for your support

Hi @gianlu-gaggio

You can use a map of Europe from their gallery and define BeNeLux quite easily using their designer

Hi Gianlu,

There is the option to make custom maps for the "shape map" visual, in case none of the standard maps suit your reporting needs. This would enable you to make a map containing country groups such as BeNeLux.

You can find some more information here: Use Shape maps in Power BI Desktop (Preview) - Power BI | Microsoft Docs
