    Hi jamesdales 

     

    Just wondering if there are plans to release v2 to the marketplace?      or if not, if there's any way to get a download link to the WIP pbiviz version?

     

    Thanks

    Hi;

     

    Great Job looks fantastic. Will it support layering of points on top of polygons?

     

    Kindest Regards

        Looks awesome - cant wait! Any chance you can sling me the .pbiviz for an early look?

         

        Choropleth with drill down and mixing point layers will be my main interest. If I interpreted your previous post correctly, SQL is not a requirement, just a column of text data in their WKT format? Will that be limited in length?  

         

        Will/does it support Mapbox tilesets for choropleth layers?

    Great visual James,

     

    Can you let me know, if you want to use a custom set of tiles from mapbox, what are the requirements.  What is the strucuture of the URI that you need to pass in. e.g. https://api.mapbox.com/styles/v1/company/xyz.

     

    I've tried various different formats for the URL and can't seem to get any to work, I just get back a blank visual.

     

    Any help greatly appreciated.

      Hi OpenDataLab 

       

      If you get a copy of the style URL from Mapbox Studio it should look something along the lines of:

       

      mapbox://styles/[Account Name]/[Style ID]

       

      To get this to work in Icon Map translate the Account Name and Style ID to the following format, and add in your Mapbox access token at the end.

       

      https://api.mapbox.com/styles/v1/[Account Name]/[Style ID]/tiles/256/{z}/{x}/{y}?access_token=[Access Token]

       

      That should do the trick.

    Hi James, Well done!

    I am implementing a solution with the WKT option, however, the current version available on the Market Place is the 1.0 and the one you have in the Pbix is 2.0. Any ideia of how I can download the 2.0 or must updated version?

    Thanks and Regards,

    Juliana Clemente

    Hi jamesdales,

     

    Great work, I love it!!!

    I would like to know how you did the revealt trick (Map with Reveal), when you select a point in the map appears the other graph, it is great.

      Hi Edwardo

       

      The map has a feature called reveal. What is does is move the bottom of the map upwards when you select something on the map, revealing what's underneath, which can be any other Power BI visuals. It uses Power BI's inbuilt cross highlighting functionaity to filter the visuals underneath to show information related to what you've selected on the map. 

       

      There is a little more information here: https://powerbi.jamesdales.com/how-to-use-icon-map/

        Hi James,

         

        Thanks a lot for your information, also I want to ask you if you have a method or a threshold to define the numbers of coordinates necessary to create the polygon. I mean, for an specific area why to use 100 geographical coordinatesand not 1000.

         

        Thanks in advance jamesdales

    👍 Great job, really cool!!!

     

    I'm wondering if it is possible to further increase the zoom factor for the map (see also attached figure)? Is there any option?

     

    Thanks,

    Michael

    Hi James,
    I tried implementing WKT Map with drill down to circles  using my data. When I add lat and long all polygones disaprears. When I drill down using "Go to the next level in heirarchy" I can see the circles. If I remove the lat and long, polygones works and can drill down from region to LSOA successfully, but can't drill down to the circles until I add lat and long. I don't understand what I am missing. Please help me to fix it.
    Thanks

    Hi everyone
    I would appreciate it a lot if you could assist me with this problem

    I load my WKT file into Power BI, but most of them don't show up as I send the images.
    I couldn't find out what the problem was with those polygons. I struggle a lot.
