Organising data so my columns link to coordinates (map visualisation)

Hello,

 

I am new to PowerBI, I am trying to organise my data in excel so when creating a map visualisation I can click on various locations and then get values to come up on a multi-row card to display data insights of that area which has been selected on the map.

 

So far I have my lat and long coordinates in separate columns, then my data which I want to relate to areas on the map is in separate columns. Each area is organised by rows as shown below.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

 

Thanks

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

You may try to directly put the information you want to display on the tooltips of the map visualisation.

Or you may try to create tooltips based on report pages.

@Anonymous You can easily create a geolocation map using the data that you have. Below is the similar chart for your reference.
