"Color Saturation" now showing in shape map visual on power bi desktop

[Anonymous]

Hello friends,

The shape map visual is currently in preview feature, however, the "Color Saturation" section is now showing after I turn on the visual. I only have location, legend and tooltips so no place for me to put my "Count data"See my attached here:

Does someone know what is wrong here?

Much appreciated

Maybe I'm not allowed to say anything about this since it's a "Preview" feature, but the colour saturation in Shape Maps does not work at all for me, and I do not see the link for advanced options.

I agree, this feature is confusing and just doesn't work very well. It keeps on shading zip codes that have a count of zero. Poorly implemented and confusing.

hi, @Anonymous

Power BI Desktop has much update Monthly. and this feature has been updated to conditional formatting in 2018 November.

Color saturation on visuals upgraded to use conditional formatting

For quite a while now, we’ve had two different ways to dynamically color a visual’s data points depending on the visual type. Our charts had a color saturation option in the field well that gave you basic controls, and the table and matrix visuals had conditional formatting. We’ve added a ton of functionality to the conditional formatting experience for table and matrix over the last year, but the color saturation feature for cartesian charts hasn’t received much love.

That has finally changed this month, as we’ve upgraded all the visuals that previously used color saturation to have the same conditional formatting experience as table and matrix currently has. This means you’ll have access to all three types of formatting currently available: Color by color scales, Color by rules, and Color by field. As mentioned, this change impacts all visuals which previously had color saturation which includes:

• All variants of column and bar charts
• Funnel chart
• Bubble & filled maps
• Shape map (preview)
• Treemap
• Scatter chart

This is the official documentation and tutorials for your refer to:

Hi @Anonymous,

Are you using the Windows 10 App store version of PowerBi desktop or the downloaded version?
