Map & Display problem

Hi,

 

I'm a new beginner on power bi, and have two questions on power bi desktop.

 

First, I use the default filled map as in the red mark. But I cannot find size/color saturation on the grey pane. So the map looks only one color. 

Second, when I studied in youtube, I found the youtuber's display of power bi is pretty good like you see in the following. But in the picture above which is my power bi desktop, in the pink mark I made, you can see it's totally different from the youtuber's.

 

Thanks for your help!

 

Yun

@YunJ ,

 

Yes, in the latest version, color saturation has been upgraded to conditional formatting. Please refer to announcement below:

 

We’ve upgraded all the generally available visuals that previously used color saturation to have the same conditional formatting experience as table and matrix currently has. This means you’ll have access to all three types of formatting currently available: Color by color scales, Color by rules, and Color by field. As mentioned, this change impacts all visuals which previously had color saturation which includes:

  • All variants of column and bar charts
  • Funnel chart
  • Bubble & filled maps
  • Treemap
  • Scatter chart
