Add Legend for Diverging Colors In Filled Maps

When using diverging colors in a filled map, it would be useful to be able to display a gradient scale along with the map that would show the upper, median, and lower values that the diverging colors represent.

  • I like this idea. I can't believe at a basic level you cannot have a legend displaying the diverging colour scale on a visual, and the associated smallest and largest numbers associated with that scale.
  • A legend should be automatically generated when adding color to a chart!
  • Completely agree. As a work around I'm creating a separate gradient in another application, saving it as a picture, importing it and sizing it and adding text by it to indicate the values. Kind of a ridiculous process. It's also not dynamic, so if other associated recommend a color tweak I go through the whole process again. Currently I'm working on a report that has about 15 different pages that utilize Filled maps, which further compounds this process. Please add in this feature.
  • This is easy to do in Tableau, hasn't it been implemented yet? It would certainly be useful for Maps and Treemaps.
  • Agree with this completely. For all the great features in Power BI, I'm not sure how this isn't available yet...seems pretty basic to me.
