Hi,
Below are the two tables 1) master table ( from db-only one table) 2) StateDetails(new table created to map state names)
We are trying to migrate tableau report to power bi. Here are the sample visuals and related sample data posted under the visual.
As per the visual
1) Could you please help me with how to develop the similar visual with map visuals ( Tried Filled Map), to look similar like Tablueau report. On the below visual I tried tooltip added, when hover over can see the list of details.
But, as per the tableau report, we need to display the names/values as show in image. (also need to include colors to it)
2) Could you please recommend any external visual( free- pbi certified ) to use to display the same.
Mapping:
Model view: Map region_name (master) with Region name (Statedetails) >> One tom many relationship
Drag and drop:
State under Location and Zone Name under Legend for the below visual
Power BI visual (developed) : Used tooltip to display relevent column data.But, client looking for something similar to tableau.
Tablueau sample visual Zone based visual
Region_based

Hi @puneethjp
I used the built in Azure map to achieve this:
You may need to turn it on if using it for the first time in settings.
It isn't the pretiest but I created a new column called zone name which is equal to zone_name.
I used the Zone name and State as a location and Zone_name as the legend.
Turn on the bubble layer and drilldown to the bottom level.
I also had to use CountryCode as it didn't do what yours did, presumably because I am in the UK.
If you are happy with this answer please mark as a solution for others to find !
Kudos are always appreciated! Check out our free Power BI video courses.
Thank you @SamWiseOwl @Hemansi Appreciate your time and help.
@Hemansi I do not have latitude and logitude in my current table, also do not have any particular column to refer to define the size.
Hi,Hemansi and SamWiseOwl ,thanks for your concern about this issue.
Your answers are excellent!
And I would like to share some additional solutions below.
Hello,@puneethjp .I am glad to help you.
Based on your description: you don't have latitude/longitude data, Azure Maps as suggested by SamWiseOwl may be a more flexible option.

You can try using the icon map external visual. It does have a lot of flexibility when producing what you require.
