Custom Heatmap Visual

I've been tasked with producing a custom heatmap for a data set we have internally. However I don't know where to start - or even if it is possible. Essentially we have a table of user characteristics. It pretty much looks something like this:

 

___________________________

|Name         |V1|V2|V3|V4|

----------------------------

|John Smith | 4 | 6 | 9  | 1 |

----------------------------

 

V1, 2 3 & 4 all represent different qualities of a person's behaviours or characteristics. We want to be able to plot teams on to a heat map using this data. 

 

Each person would be mapped to an area on the chart - rather than using a radar chart (overlaying mulitple people wouldn't work).

 

Anyone got any ideas on how I could visually display this data? I'm thinking of somehow being able to plot people on an area but obviously there are more than 2 axis at play here Smiley Frustrated

Hi @nicklatocha,

 

go to the Office Store (website or import custom visual on PBI desktop) and search Heatmap you will get several options just try one of them:

Thanks @MFelix - however I have 4 values that relate to different attributes that I want to plot. These heatmaps simply do not allow these number of values.
