Can I create hierarchy for heatmap visua;ization?

Hi experts,

 

I am creating a heatmap to show information geographically. My dashboard currently look like below :

aryono_0-1728372854599.png


My question is, can i create a hoerarchy just like when i create a normal map?
I need to drill down this map to support the decision making, so that if i click on certain province, it will show the heatmap of that province, and if i click further on one of the city, it will show the heatmap arounf the selected city.

it is possble to create that kind of dashboard? 

Regards,
Aryono

Hi @aryono 

 

Thanks for the reply from rajendraongole1 .

 

Mapbox is a custom visual, so please report the issue to the relevant support team so that they can help fix it.

I have tested and found a method that can solve this problem, for your reference:

 

Download a Mapbox sample and use the visual access token in the sample

Hi @aryono - Power BI’s heatmap visuals may not support drill-down out of the box. You can use either the Azure Maps Visual or ArcGIS Map Visual which allow for some advanced features, including drill-down and heatmaps.

Azure Maps can help visualize data points by geographical regions and allows for drilling into specific areas by layering data.

You need to structure your heatmap data points with a hierarchy (e.g., Province → City) so that clicking on a region in the heatmap drills down to the next level.

You can implement this with the "Drill Down" feature that Power BI offers. Enable the drill-down button (an arrow icon) on your visualization, and when users click on a province or city, it will zoom in to show detailed information.

Hope this gives you more idea to create the drill down functionality.
