Shape Map

Dear all,

 

i am using an inserted shape map to show the population density, is there a way to show the legend automatichaly or i should do it manualy. 

and if manualy, does the minimum mean (from minimum to center) or (from zero to minimum) because i try it with differen figuers and i get differnt results.

hi, @NourJ 

You can add a category data column to the Legend bucket, and classify the map regions based on categories.

and if you don't want to use Legend bucket, you could use diverging color feature, 

minimum mean the min value of the color saturation

maximum mean the min value of the color saturation

Center mean (minimum+maximum)/2

 

You also define the value of them manualy.

 

here is a demo pbix file, please try it.

 

Best Regards,

Lin
