Hi Everyone,
I am working on a project which requires two-layer map in Power BI? I have migrant students and numbers of farms. Requirement is users wants to find out how many migrant students are around farms in a particular location. Tableau has something called Dual Axis map (Screenshot attached) but couldn’t find similar to it in Power BI. I have tried with Filled map (screenshot attached) in Power BI
but user is not happy with the way it is looking?
I am looping in @Paul , who is our resident expert on Geospatial analysis in Power BI, and who probably know more about Icon Map than anyone except the creator, James Dales.
Two layer mapping is not available (I wish) but there are work arounds.
There are several ways to accomplish what you want or close enough I guess. In the first Geospatial Analysis course you can find two examples how to find points within a radius dynamically using a slicer. “FSL vs delivery points” using the default map visual.
The second option indeed is to use Iconmap with WellKnownText and conditional formatting. An example of using Iconmap is in the second Geospatial Analysis course under “WKT”, submitted earlier this month.
To be complete, with the Arcgis map visual you can “draw” a distance band around points on a map within a distance, displaying the included points, but it is not quite what you expect.
Finally, if static pre created areas will do, check out the “ISOCHRONES” video in the second course.
How did you get on with this?
I wanted to show a screenshot with my response, but Snagit kept crashing my computer, when in Power BI, which I have resolved just now.
The image shows 10 depots (red) across the Netherlands and with a slicer selection you can display the depots or not and/or points around the depots. This has been done with WKT and conditional formatting.
