Map filtering with variables

Hello,

 

I want to create a heatmap in powerbi desktop where the map changes when the variable changes. For example, i want in the filter to select either volume of sales or value of sales and see in the map what disctrict is "high" or "low" based on the heatmap colors.

Any thoughts?

 

Thank you.

Ok, got it!

 

You can try to add new group column in your dataset and use it in a Chiclet Slicer visual , for instance, to filter your dataset.

Hello,

 

I didn't get your idea. Why don't you want to achieve the same effect with "Value" bucket?

Could you explain how you see it with details?

Hello @v-evelk ,

 

My task is to create a map where the user can select a variable from the filter widget. The map will change colors based on the variable the user selected. 

Can i put variables in filter widget instead of values from a single variable?

 

I hope my answer is clear now.

 

Thank you!

@v-evelk  Thank you for your answer.

 

Indeed it worked but when i choose a variable from the slicer the size of the bubble in the different cities does not change because i can not put sizing in the map.

Please, try to set up levels manually.
