"Unexpected Error" when attempting to load topojson for shape map

$

In the July version of the 32-bit desktop product, I am attempting to create a map of school districts in my state. I ran a shape file through mapshaper.org (and it rendered correctly on that site) to produce a topojson file. I then imported an Excel file with the school district names and a bunch of other columns (like population). I added the name column to the "Location" bucket, and a population column to the "Saturation" bucket (I also experimented with adding it to the "Legend" bucket, with the same result).

 

When I attempt to load in the map, PowerBI renders a small square image that looks like something Picasso would have drawn, and when I click on it, after a very long delay (on the order of a minute, on this fast desktop machine with 16 gigs of memory), it comes back with "Unexpected Error", and it creates logfiles that I'm not competent to interpret.

 

Again, this shape file renders accurately on the mapshaper site, and it came from a reliable government source, so it seems unlikely to be corrupted.

 

I didn't see a way to upload a file with this message, but I'd be happy to somehow share a file with anyone who might be able to help me debug this situation.

 

Thank you!

Jim
