Quick BI:Colored map

Prerequisite

• A dashboard has been created. For more information, see Create a Dashboard.

• The geographic area field has been switched. For more information, see Configure Fields.

  Note

  Assume that the geographic area field to be added to the chart is area. The display marked with a red box indicates that the field has been switched to geographic information. For detailed information on each region, see public-area-info .xlsx. This table is for geographic area matching reference only and does not represent the political stance of Quick BI.

Limits

A colored map consists of Geographic Area/dimension and Color Saturation/measure:

• The geographic area is determined by the dimension of the data. You can specify only one dimension, and it must be geographical information, such as a province.

• Color saturation is determined by the measure of the data. You can specify between one and five measures, such as order amount and profit amount.

Overview

Scenarios

Colored maps are often used to display spatially distributed data and are suitable for datasets with geographic location information. They display aggregated continuous information by region, with the geographic location of the data represented by the position of the graphics and the data points mapped onto the map in different geographic locations through colors.

Advantages

• Visualization effect: Supports block-style maps.

• Interactive operations: You can select a part of the map to zoom in, modify the metric you want to view, or filter data within the component.
