Importing custom floor plan

[QuasemS]

Hi,

I am testing out Power BI for my company. I want to know if there is any way to import a picture of a floor plan, let's say in PDF or PNG etc into the program, and anchor different points on it to show statistics, or even click on different spots and drill through to a detailed view or stats page etc?

Any help would be appreciated.

Check out the Steven Curry report in the Best Report contest by @SqlJason, looks like it would be what you are looking to do.

That's a really good example. Can I import a picture straight into Power BI or does that layout need to be created using something else?

Hi Quasems,

You can use a scatter chart and add a background image in Plot area. A Scatter chart always has two value axes to show one set of numerical data along a horizontal axis and another set of numerical values along a vertical axis.

The Synoptic Panel here - visuals gallery will allow you to show stats for a floor plan. I'm not sure it does click to drill through though.
