I have 2 datasets:
Dataset 1 has a latitude and longitude value for every piece of equipment my company has working in remote locations.
Latitude
Longitude
EquipmentID
Dataset 2 has a latitiude and longitude value for every possible remote location that my company could be working, but does not currently have equipment. These locations would identify potential customers.
Latitude
Longitude
LocationID
CompanyName
On the same map I want to plot the locations where I am currently working, and also plot the locations where potential customers could be so I can see them together.
How could I accomplish this?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Yes do overlay here too!
That's why in the picture on the right those locations are neither red nor green because they are directly on top of each other!
And yes you can use a slicer(s) to turn on/off various elements such as Current or Prospect
Good Luck!
Hi, I've got a similar issue but I want the distance in figure and not to plot it on the map.
For example I want to know which of my cutomer travelled the longest distance to me.e.g 4miles, 7miles et.c
Merge the 2 datasets in the Query Editor (you can keep only the relevant columns)
Post some sample data...
You can create a conditional column say - if no EquipmentID - "prospect" else "current" so you can use this as a Legend
to easily identify current vs prospects...
its tough to say what the best option would be without seeing some sample data of the 2 datasets
Sean,
I have similar situation.. the two datasets cannot be merged since they dont have same zipcodes for example.. so if i want to map two datasets containing different sets of zipcodes then how do i do this?
If i append both datasets into one then i can see all zipcodes but i want ability to filter zipcodes from first dataset and always see zipcodes from second dataset.
Post some sample data of all columns involved in both data sets
Here is a sample from each dataset.
Note: there may be similar lat and long in each set, but this will not always be the case. So it can't be assumed that this ties the datasets together as there could be situations where lat and long never matches.
In a perfect world I could control visiblity of each dataset independent of the other on the map, and quickly see areas where my work is concentrated relative to all areas that have work taking place. I have used another product that allowed me to select datasets to be visable without the requirement for the datasets being joined. Hoping this is possible and thanks for your help.

You have Identical Locations (to 5 decimal places) that can be both Prospect and Current
or can be 2 different Prospects at the same exact Location
How did you handle these with the other software?
EDIT: Oh and I meant - Append the 2 tables (see picture)
If you want to filter out a specific current prospect and also look at the future prospects around the current prospect then how do u do this?
The Column that is the Location Field - includes all Locations
Therefore you can either create a
1) SLICER (same as below - select all and uncheck the ones you don't want)
OR
2) Go to the Visual Level Filters - open the Location Field Column - Basic Filtering - Select All - Uncheck only the ones you don't want
There are other ways too by creating additional conditional column to Include and Exclude...
But option 2 is probably the fastest/easiest way to do this!
Yes, some lat and longs are identical but this can not be guaranteed in my data.
This approach may work. Other software I used was Saleforce with Geopointe add-in for mapping. For mapping I could add many datasets and not have to merge them in order to display. I could have many lat longs at exact same location (in different data sets)and it would just visually overlay them, and i could selectively turn an entire data set on or off.
I will try your approach as it should work for what I am trying to accomplish.
Thanks!!!
Yes do overlay here too!
That's why in the picture on the right those locations are neither red nor green because they are directly on top of each other!
And yes you can use a slicer(s) to turn on/off various elements such as Current or Prospect
Good Luck!
Hello! Can you provide a step by step process on how to do this? I can't seem to be able to do this
Hi Sean,
I have 3 type of location: buyer, supplier, and report, so I have samiliar approach with Type as slicer.
But when a city has multiple types of location, it shows as pie chart. Instead of pie chart, we just want overlap in the same location, how can I achieve that?
Thanks!
Thanks for the reply ,Fenglar. I believe what I am looking for is to calculate distance between 2 log and latitude rather than showing this points on a map. I want result like 4Miles to seller, 3 miles etc. I hope this is clearer now.@flengar
how do you do an overlay? Thanks!
ok.. i dont see an option to upload an excel file here so i am pasting tables here itself..
Here is "my locations" table which i would like to see on map.. its canadian... thats straight forward when i use postal code as location.

Melita | MB | R0M 1L0 |
Schanzenfeld | MB | R6W 1K5 |
I would like to always see the "supply locations" in my map.
Idea is that by filtering one of "my locations" i need ability to see my "supply locations"
