Hello Everyone!
Could you assist me with creating overlapped maps in Power BI?
I have a table with the following columns: id, order_id, country, region, and postcode. I want to visualize this data on a map where the regions are color-filled based on the number of orders in each region.
Additionally, I have a second table containing information about our planned orders, with columns: country, region, postcode, and number of planned orders. I’d like to overlay this data on the map, using bubbles (representing the number of planned orders) placed at the corresponding locations.
Could you guide me on how to create this visualization in Power BI?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Katerina

Hi @Katerina_SL ,
Nope, you can't overlap both two map visuals at same time. As a workaround, you can try using the tooltip page/tooltip to show the display additional information on a map.

You can use TMap to create a symbol map to overlay bubbles with choroplth map (see below).
