Aggregating data to use as legend for filled map

[LaurieK]

Hi there 

I am having trouble creating a filled map for aggregated data. I effectively have a table of unique cases with postcode data. If I use the Map visualisation, it creates an appropriate bubble map (ie size of bubble based on number of cases in the postcode), but I want to use the filled map to colour postocdes based on the number of cases (eg <5 cases is green, 5-9 cases is yellow etc). I was able to create the categories and counts using measures, however measures can only be added as a tooltip to the filled map. I want to add this measure as a legend. Is there something simple I am missing?

I'm happy to share the pbix file, but it does not allow me to drag and drop here

Thanks

You can use OneDrive or similar to share sample file.

Try using the conditional formatting to change the colour of the filled map. You can do this based on field value using HEX colour codes within your dataset or with rules.

See step 5 here and come back with what specific questions you still have, as I imagine there may still be some: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/visuals/power-bi-visualization-filled-maps-choropleths#cre...
