Superimposing two filled map with location coordinates

Hi all,

1. I would like to ask the possibility of having 2 sets of data (income group and population), superimposing each other represented by colors and patterns respectively in a single filled-map.

2. Additionally, it is possible to have locations with coordinates represented by the bubble plot being added on top of the visualization above? (either filled map or as background map)

 

I am kind of new to PowerBI, I tried using ArcGis map, but they don't provide a reference layer of Malaysia with data I need, (probably due to free users). Besides, I unable to discover any means of superimposing 2 data sets as a reference layer/ background map. 

 

Below was a brief idea of end results I would like to achieve.

Hi @Anonymous 

 

How about appending 2 sets of data into 1?As in  a map visual ,the value field should come from 1 dataset,but even so,superimposing the same area is impossible currently,it can only show 2 areas even though they have same area inside,but the overlapping part wont be highlighted,letting alone for filling in patterns.

I have searched many visuals in market,but feel so sorry that I cant find one suitable for you...

 

Best Regards,
Kelly

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Based on my test,adding 2 sets of data is not supported in  ArcGis map.You can come up with a new idea and add your comments there to make this feature coming sooner.

Thanks, Kelly @v-kelly-msft 

 

So if 2 sets of data are not supported in ArcGis map, do we have any visualization that can achieve the results, of combining coordinated map-points and filled-map areas by any means?

Thank you for your help and reply.
