So I've got a map with cities in Texas and our customer counts (among other things) and I'm having a really tough time making a meaningful heatmap. What I end up with is a few cities (Dallas, and Houston mainly) with a huge %, and then hundreds of other cities with very, very small percentages so all the colors end up looking the same. I don't expect it to be amazing or anything when I have no selections, but if I select just the Dallas metroplex I end up with two cities that are the darkest color and the rest that are the lightest color.... not a "full spectrum of colors"(I'm using colormix1 or 2, can't remember which).
Imagine you have the following percentages:
a- 60%
b - 5%
c - 5%
d- 3%
e 9%
etc.
etc.
a is going to end up looking different than the rest, but all of the others are really going to end up looking the exact same... anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? I feel like there's a smart math thing I can do here... but I don't know what it is.
Thanks.
You could use logarithms or roots. A cubed root of your numbers, for instance, varies from about 0.31 to 0.84.

Thanks it definitely looks a lot better now.
