import shapefile in power bi

Hello,

 

Would you know how to import a shapefile into power BI?

 

I tried to use the "Script R" module, but I have errors in the geometry column.

Hi @Venel ,

You can refer the following links to use online tools such as Map Shaper to convert your shapefile into the TopoJSON format first and create shape map visual.
