WEBINAR: 

Exploring Maps in Power BI

Learn how to use geographic data with built-in & custom Power BI visualizations

Recorded March 2018

 

There are several options available in Microsoft Power BI to visualize and build reports with geographic data. A well-crafted map will help you to draw report consumers in with visual appeal and understandable content. As with any visual, you should put thought into how you represent locations in Microsoft Power BI so that your users gain more insight into the data. Simply making maps is not enough if users cannot comprehend them.

With rapid increases in the ability to track, store, and access data, many organizations have a wealth of geospatial data available to them. In BlueGranite's recent webinar, we discussed several data mapping options, explored custom visuals, and demonstrated key use cases for your organization.
