Quick BI:Bubble Map

Prerequisites

• You have created a dashboard. For more information, see Create a Dashboard.

• Ensure the geographic area field you want to add is set to geographic information. For more information, see Edit geographic information dimension.

  Note

  Assume the geographic area field to be added to the chart is area. The field is correctly set to geographic information if the icon is enclosed in a red box. For detailed information about each region, refer to public-area-info .xlsx. This table is solely for geographic area matching and does not reflect Quick BI's political views.

Limits

In Region Name mode, a bubble map includes Region Name/dimension, Bubble Size/measure, and Bubble Color/measure:

• The Region Name is based on the data's dimension, allowing for one geographic information dimension, such as a province.

• The Bubble Size is determined by the data's measure, requiring at least one and no more than five measures, such as shipping cost and order quantity.

• The Bubble Color is influenced by the data's measure, with a maximum of one measure, like order amount.

In Latitude And Longitude mode, a bubble map includes Latitude And Longitude/dimension, Location Tag/dimension, Bubble Size/measure, and Bubble Color/measure:

• The Latitude And Longitude is based on the data's dimension, allowing for one longitude and one latitude field.

• The Location Tag is optional and determined by the data's dimension, supporting string and geographic types.

• The Bubble Size is influenced by the data's measure, requiring at least one and no more than five measures, such as shipping cost and order quantity.

• The Bubble Color is determined by the data's measure, with a maximum of one measure, like order amount.

Overview

Scenarios

Bubble maps are commonly used for spatial distribution data displays and are ideal for datasets with geographic location information. They typically involve aggregated continuous data by region, with geographic data points represented by the position of the bubbles on the map.

Advantages

• Visualization effect: The map supports point-style markers.

• Interactive operations: Parts of the map can be selected for zooming, metric modification, or data filtering.

• In the geographic area settings, configure Display Range, Outline And Fill, and Display Base Map.

  For Display Range, choose between Automatic or Custom. The Custom Range will adjust based on the selected field. In this example, select China National Map.

  Enable Manual Adjustment to generate the current Center Point and Scaling Value automatically, which you can then manually modify.

  In Outline And Fill, set the Block Background Color and the Outline color.

• In Base Map, choose whether to display the base map and select from various Gaode base map styles.

  

• In Bubble, configure Bubble Color, Extreme Value Color Configuration, Bubble Shape, Bubble Size, and Zero Value Processing.

  • Bubble Color: Set the themecolor, transparency, data mapping intervals, and the number of intervals.

    

  • Extreme Value Color Configuration: Configure colors for maximum and minimum values, top three, and bottom three values.

    

  • Bubble Shape: Choose from four shapes: circle, triangle, rectangle, and diamond.

  • Bubble Size: Adjust the bubble size by dragging the pointer.

    

  • Zero Value Processing: Choose from three options: do not display, adjust with data intervals, or maintain a fixed bubble size.

    

• In Data Label, configure Display Data Label, Label Display Form, and Content, Position, And Text Style.

  • Display Data Label:

    1. When using Region Name mode, it supports displaying both Region Name and Measure.

    2. In Latitude And Longitude mode, it supports displaying both Latitude And Longitude and Measure.

  • Position: By default, it is set to automatic. Display options include above the bubble, below the bubble, and at the bubble's center.

  • Label Display Form: Enable Full Display to show all label content.

  • Text Style: Customize the text style for data labels such as Region Name, Latitude And Longitude, and Measure.
