Maps - hatch fill when two criteria met?

Hi all,

 

On filled maps, is it possible to have a country covered by two colours (in a hatch pattern or similar) when it meets two criteria.

 

For example, France has both solar - yellow and wind - blue; therefore the fill should be yellow and blue stripes, as opposed to a solid colour of either. There's multiple combinations to consider which would make it tricky to have a unique colour for each combination, so just wondered if this was something PowerBI could do?

 

I know I can do this with the bubble map, but wondered if there was a filled map alternative that I was missing? 

 

Thanks!

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Currently, for the latest version of powerbi desktop. It is not possible to fill two or more colors in the fill map visual.

 

I think this is a good idea, so you can post your idea here: Ideas - Microsoft Power BI Community If there are a lot of votes. Microsoft officials will consider adding this feature in the next update.

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

At present, the latest version of powerbi desktop cannot implement this function in the fill map temporarily, and similar map visual can not be found in power bi visual.

Maybe I misunderstood your needs. So I made a test, choose fill map visual, you can choose different colors according to different positions in one area, whether it is the result you want.

Thanks - yes, I was aware that I could change certain colours, but it was if there was a way of (where multiple entries existing for the same location) that both colours would feature in the 'fill'.

 

The bubble map does this to a fashion, but I can tweak the way I present the data too.

 

Thanks again
