"Shade map" visual with Canadian province

[bcsalsaboy]

Hello there,

I am trying to find this particular map visual, to use with Canadian provinces.  I saw a presentation with a map visual, and when the person described it (or hovered over it in the Visualizations are of Power BI desktop, it was called "Shade Map".

I couldnt find it in the market place, and not sure how to enable this if there is another method.

Attached is a screen shot of the map and the corresponding icon for it.   4th row, 3rd from the left.

If anyone knows how i could find this, or enable it to use with Canadian provinces, i would appreciate it.  Still a newbie.

Hi @bcsalsaboy ,

you can use the Shape Map (not Shade) visual and set Cananada's Provinces in the Shape - Map property like in the picture below.

You might have to enable Shape Map option in Power BI Options - Preview features.

Hope it helps.

Cheers,

Marco

thanks Marco for the quick reply,

but where do i get the shape map?   in the market place?

is that whats its called?

in my standard visualizations all i have for maps is:  "map"    "filled map"  and ArcGis Maps.

also not sure how to "enable" shape map as you described...

@bcsalsaboy what is the issue using the filled map, not super clear, if your data is from Canadian provinces, and you use filled map, it will show respect provinces/country. Did you try it? If yes, what issue you ran into?

I would ❤ Kudos if my solution helped. 👉 If you can spend time posting the question, you can also make efforts to give Kudos whoever helped to solve your problem. It is a token of appreciation!

@bcsalsaboy seems like it is a filled map.
