Heatmap matrix from excel

Hello guys,

 

I'm trying to represent a heatmap matrix that I have stored in excel sheet in PBI but I'm facing some problems.
The sample matrix looks like that:

Ireland                                                                                                             1,23411121132


How would you approach that?
I was trying to model it as a list, but it requires a lot of manual work and I'm still having a problem to shape the RAG's properly.

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,
Bartek

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Your data table is too confusing. It is impossible to create your sample matrix diagram from your data table, so you must manually modify your data table.

Or, does your data table come from your pivot table in Excel? Don't do like this, import the original data directly  to Power BI Desktop, then, create visualization in Power BI Desktop.

In addition, it's impossible to realize your sample matrix in current version( 2.76.5678.782 64-bit (December 2019)).

I can't understand where the colorful part of your graph comes from. Is that more data or calculations? Please see this post regarding How to Get Your Question Answered Quickly: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/How-to-Get-Your-Question-Answered-Quickly/ba-p/38490
