Visualizing data in a Power View map
The latest buzz in the dashboarding world is location intelligence: visualizing data on a map to
quickly compare performance by location. Since Excel 2003, you haven't had a good way of building
map-based visualizations without convoluted work-arounds. Excel 2013 changes all that with the
introduction of Power View maps.
To add a map to your Power View dashboard, select your location data in the Power View canvas.
Location data can be zip codes, which is what Figure 5-12 shows. Click the Map button on the Design
tab (you can find it in the Switch Visualization group). Excel gives you a Bing map, as shown in
Figure 5-13.
