Dear All,
Struck with some problem related to Power BI Mapping
The hirarchy of the data is something like this:
Area ==> Church ==> Pioneer
Each Area is having one or more churchs and each church is having one are more PioneersEach entity is having individual lat and log. Please refer the tables below:
Projects Table | |
ProjectId | ProjectName |
1 | Proect1 |
2 | Project2 |
Area Table | ||||
AreaId | AreaName | ProjectId | Latitude | Logitude |
1 | Area1 | 1 | 12.29581 | 76.639381 |
2 | Area2 | 2 | 12.30587 | 76.73481 |
Church Table | ||||
ChurchId | ChurchName | AreaId | Latitude | Logitude |
1 | Church1 | 1 | 12.31593 | 76.830239 |
2 | Church2 | 1 | 12.32599 | 76.925668 |
3 | Church3 | 2 | 12.33605 | 77.021097 |
4 | Church4 | 2 | 12.34611 | 77.116526 |
Pioneer Table | |||||
PioneerId | PioneerName | AreaId | ChurchId | Latitude | Logitude |
1 | Pioneer1 | 1 | 1 | 12.33605 | 77.021097 |
2 | Pioneer2 | 1 | 1 | 12.34611 | 77.116526 |
3 | Pioneer3 | 1 | 2 | 12.35617 | 77.211955 |
4 | Pioneer4 | 1 | 2 | 12.36623 | 77.307384 |
Project Status table | ||||
Id | PrjectId | AreaId | ChurchId | PioneerId |
1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 2 |
2 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 2 |
3 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 4 |
4 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 4 |
The requirement is to map all these entities with different icons on Power bi Map and on hover it has to display count of the projects completed by each entity:
Area1 (Project1): 3
Area1 (Project2): 1
Church1 (Project1): 1
Church1 (Project2): 1
Church2 (Project1): 2
I trust to best of my knowledge I have explained the requirement. Your help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Prasanna V.
Hi Prasanna V.,
Based on your data, I created a sample model. I am afraid we can't change the icon by now. Maybe we could use colours instead. Maybe you could vote an idea here: cusom-markers-on-maps.
1. The relationships would be like this:
2. We need two map visuals here.
Best Regards!

Dear Dale,
Good morning. Thanks for the input.
The requirement is to mapp all these entoities on single map not using multiple maps. This is a kind of hierachy.
Area is on the top
Followed by church and pioneer.
I have a Project filter LHS and on selection it should mark respective Area, Church and Pioneer on the map. on hovering it should display count of project.
Thanks,
Prasanna V.
Hi Prasanna V.,
How should I show the Pioneers in the map? It seems that we can't custom icons by now. Could you please create an idea or vote one here: cusom-markers-on-maps. Maybe we can get it in the future.
Best Regards!
Dale
Dear Dale,
It should look something like this:
Area 1 ==> Red bubble
Church 1 ==> Blue bubble
Pioneer 1 ==> Green bubble
Pioneer 2 ==> Green bubble
Church 2 ==> Blue bubble
Pioneer 3 ==> Green bubble
Pioneer 4 ==> Green bubble
Thanks,
Prasanna V.
