Power BI - Maps: Multiple markings using different dataset

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 
ProjectIdProjectName
1Proect1
2Project2

 

Area Table    
AreaIdAreaNameProjectIdLatitudeLogitude
1Area1112.2958176.639381
2Area2212.3058776.73481

 

Church Table    
ChurchIdChurchNameAreaIdLatitudeLogitude
1Church1112.3159376.830239
2Church2112.3259976.925668
3Church3212.3360577.021097
4Church4212.3461177.116526

 

Pioneer Table     
PioneerIdPioneerNameAreaIdChurchIdLatitudeLogitude
1Pioneer11112.3360577.021097
2Pioneer21112.3461177.116526
3Pioneer31212.3561777.211955
4Pioneer41212.3662377.307384

 

Project Status table   
IdPrjectIdAreaIdChurchIdPioneerId
11112
22112
31124
41124

 

 

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.

@send2prasan,

 

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.

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!

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.
