Map question

Wed, 03 Feb 2016 15:41:31 GMT

Hello everyone,

I'm working on a demo project where one of the things I want to show is the amazing ability to easily show a map 😃 I downloaded dummy data with lots of cities (along with their longitude and latitude) for the map. I finally have my map now, but I can't show the bubbles in different sizes since it's dummy data non-connected to anything that has to do with sales. It looks like this right now:

However, I want it to look like this (some bubbles bigger and some smaller):

Does anyone have a trick to make this happen even if it's not connected to sales or anything else?

Sincerely,

Betty Habtemariam

Hi Betty,

all you need is ANY calculation that returns variable numeric results. Even the rand() function could work - just play with the min/max bubble sizes.

Hi Betty,

You can simply use your Latitudes and Longitudes as measures in Expression like

Sum(Latitude+Longitude)

Sum(Latitude)

Sum(Longitude)

and Tick the 'Use Expression for Bubble Size' option.

Adjust the bubble size according to your convenience.

Regards,

Rohan
