How to create a Hex Map visual of the UK in Power BI, is it possible?
Hello, is it possible to create a hex map visualisation for the UK in Power BI?
I'm aware that you can build a Hex map for the US like the below using 'Synoptic Panel by OKViz.' I was hoping there is something similar to create for the UK
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide
Hi Anonymous ,
it is possible to create a hex map visualisation for the UK in Power BI using the same custom visual, Synoptic Panel by OKViz. You just need to have a suitable SVG file that contains the hexagonal shapes for the UK regions or counties. You can either create your own SVG file using a tool like Inkscape or Illustrator, or you can download one from the web. You can use the file as the template for your Synoptic Panel visual and then bind your data to the shapes using the Fields pane. You can also customize the appearance and interactivity of your hex map using the Format pane.
