How to use the Excel Maps Function: Excel Maps Tutorial

3D Maps in Excel is a data-visualization tool available in Excel 2016 and 2019. Excel 2013 users can also use 3D Maps, but it is available as an add-in called Power Maps. If you are using Excel 2013, you will need to jump into Options, then Add-Ins, and enable Power Maps.

Three-dimensional Maps helps you visualize data in a different way and discover insights you might not see in traditional two-dimensional tables and charts.

3D Maps analyze geographical data. For example, if you are trying to analyze and compare the population of countries around the world. Or maybe analyze crime stats for different towns or states.

With 3D maps, you can plot geographic and temporal data on a globe or custom map. You can show the data changing over time, build engaging, cinematic visual tours and importantly, any map you create can be shared with other people.
