Map feature

Hi - Is there a way to display specific custom map in Power BI ?

Example - a map of an building plan - offices -and map values to the specific offices ?

A relationship between the office (location) and data point would be in a table.

Any thoughts ?

Thanks - Jerry

Use Choropleth visuals, either existing ones, or create your own based on Deneb.

Hi- thank you for the response - appreciate it.

How can I create my own map ?

Example - I have the floor plan layout as an image file (PSD, SVG, JPEG, PNG - whatever image format).

How can I take this file and create a file which can be used in Power BI ?

Thanks - Jerry

You would want to use the SVG version, it is easier to manipulate.

Hi - Thanks for the information.

Ok I have the SVG file of the floor layout with the layers in the SVG defined.

That is, the name and the specific area on the floor layout.

Are there instructions/videos in getting this to work in Power BI ? What is the next step ? Jerry

Next step is to blend in your occupancy data into the SVG. You do that by modifying the SVG code in a new calculated column

if you have sample data I can try to help further.
