Amazing. Is it possible to work with a State Map e.g. Benue, and show seroprevalence of a disease based on some LGAs?

Thanks for a great video! 👍
Is that a decomposition tree that you used to show the votes cast? Do you have you got a video on how you did that? Thanks!!😄

hey, how can i get States maps, like country is INDIA and State is Telanana

[Vuyiswamb]

Thanks for this, now i see how you make changes using the measures to add colors now, i want to add e.g Region Name on Ward number on those regions with different color on top of the map is that possible ?

Great Video, Thanks for the excellent information .I have one query regarding shape maps, where we can selectively fill color for eg (different districts of state ) . Let us consider one country which has multiple States, when we hover our mouse pointer, tooltips option helps us and gives various information like name of state, population etc as per the column name entered in tooltips but is there a way that we can get at least some information (eg name ) for every state displayed automatically without us hovering over the pointer to get information . Please let me know if something could be done in this case, and if i am able to explain properly .

I have a question we upload topoJSON file from our pc, and shape map don't support URL of TopoJSON file. When we refresh it at power bi service it requires Personal Data Gateway. Is there any method we could use URL from cloud instead of uploading the file?
