Use 3D Maps in Excel - Create Beautiful Map Charts

In this video, we look at how to use the 3D Map charts in Excel to create beautiful geographic insights.

These charts are only available in Excel 2013 - known as Power Maps - and Excel 2016 as 3D Maps.

3D maps allow us to create insights into our data that we cannot do with regular charts. To be able to map data geographically and see patterns.

These charts provide plenty of functionality to navigate, zoom, adjust charts types, formatting and much more. You can then export your visual as a video or an image.

Good introduction. Suggest starting at 2:00. Leaves me needing to find out more about layers though

Thanks for this. I wanted to have a new map for each tab, so you could look at say the schedule on a map for Aug, Sept etc. I can see the 'new tour' option, but it's still referencing data from the 1st tab only. I've tried refresh data to no avail.

Very nice presentation. Good basic intro to 3D Maps. When you have time, I would appreciate it if you could show how to input a shapefile and display data on it.

On an Excel 3D Mapping heat map, if multiple unique data points have the same set of coordinates, is that spot weighted as having multiple data points or just one? I hoped it would be multiple, however it kind of looks like just one but I don’t know if there is a solution. Thanks
