Different color pushpins on locations Map

I'm looking to create one map to rule them all. Currently I am plotting points via "city, country" in the location. My points of interest are plotting out fine. What I would like to do is color code different points for "top performing", "middle", or "bottom" and have that displayed in one view. The main way I'm categorizing these values currently is by text.

 

Anyway to do this?

 

I can sort of get it to work in older PowerMaps tool (cleverly hidden in the latest version of Excel by the way) and it almost works there.

Color saturation is the field you want to utilize. You can set up a range of colors between which the color saturation will vary based on the evaluation of a measure for each point plotted.

Thanks, I played with that a little and see how that could be useful for other things.

 

In this case there are three possible states I'm trying to capture - no in between. The cell I'm using currently has text scores of "Top, Middle, Bottom" basically and I tried changing those to "1, 2, 3" for 3 distinct colors.

@jbroadhouse, you can use the Diverging option to set up 3 colors, and then set your Min, Middle, and Max values to 1,2,3 respectively. You should get the coloring you want.

You can use the legend field bucket and bind to the column that has this state to color the bubble. Make sure  the value would be the same for all the rows of the same location for the buble to have different color. Otherwise, you will get a pie instead of a bubble.

Finally got a chance to work on this again. Can you explain this a little further or provide example of simple data? As you stated, I got pies using this so far. If I filter it works fine.

The only way I think to set the individual colors is if you use the Map Legend.

 

so place the field in the Legend and then you can assign to your 3 options any colors you want.
