General
Glossary
AreaSeals
In our smart grid map, when we mention „areaseal,“ we’re talking about what is essentially a grid element. So, whenever you see the term „areaseal“ used, just think of it as a part of the grid. This is just the specific terminology we use in our setup to refer to grid elements.
Initial Setup
Visual/Map integration
To start building a dashboard using the custom visual called Smart Grid Map in Power BI, follow these simple steps. First, open Power BI Desktop. Look for the Visualizations pane, which is usually on the right side of the screen. In this pane, you’ll see three dots (‚…‘) at the top. Click on these dots, and then select ‚Get more visuals‘ from the menu that appears. This will open the Power BI marketplace. Next, go to the search bar at the top right section of the marketplace window and type in „Smart Grid Map.“ When you find the Smart Grid Map visual, click on it to select it. Once you’ve done this, the Smart Grid Map visual will be added to your Visualizations pane, ready for you to use in your dashboard.
Data upload
To create a map in Power BI, you’ll need to upload your data correctly using the WGS 84 coordinate system, which requires latitude and longitude in this format. Start by opening Power BI and clicking the „Get Data“ button in the top left corner of the ribbon bar to choose your data source, such as Excel, CSV, or a database. For visualizing points on a map, your data should include two columns for latitude and longitude, both set to the „Decimal Number“ data type. To visualize quadrilateral grid elements, your data needs eight columns: latitude and longitude for each of the four corners (bottom left, top left, top right, bottom right), all also set to the „Decimal Number“ data type. Ensure your data is clean, with no extra spaces, tabs, or empty cells. Once your data is prepared and uploaded, you can start building your dashboard, using either one table or multiple tables based on your requirements. This process will enable you to visualize your GIS data effectively in Power BI.
Refresh data
To ensure you can accurately see the GIS points and element grids on your smart grid map without any errors, go to the „Home“ section in Power BI, then navigate to the „Queries“ sub-section. Here, you’ll find a button on the right labeled „Refresh.“ Click on this button to update your data. Refreshing is crucial as it helps detect any errors in the backend data. Once the refresh is done and there are no errors, you can proceed confidently with your map.
Interactivity
Map Selection
The Smart Grid Map offers a cool feature that lets you view different map styles. While it starts with the standard Google Map style, you can easily switch to other styles if you prefer. Once the map and data have loaded, you’ll see a layers icon in the top right corner. Just hover over it, and a list of other map options will appear for you to choose from. Some of the available styles include Esri, OpenTopo, and Google Hybrid. It’s super simple and adds a lot of flexibility to how you view the map!
4 Point Grid Element
Basics
Polygon data load and switch button
If you want to see grid elements pop up on your map in your nifty power BI dashboard, here’s the deal. You gotta feed it the scoop on all four corners data first. That means punching in the latitude and longitude for each point into the data field. Easy peasy, right? Just drag and drop those numbers where they belong. Now, here’s the kicker – by default, that magic button is sleeping, so you gotta wake it up! You won’t see those polygon points on your map unless you flick the switch under the „format visual“ section. So don’t forget to flip that switch to ‚on‘ if you wanna see the grid come to life!
Loading Data
Bottom left corner point data (latitude-y, longitude-x)
To see the bottom left corner point on the map, follow these steps: grab the data columns for the bottom left latitude (Y) and longitude (X). They’re usually found in the ‚Data‘ section on the far right of the dashboard. Once you’ve got those, drag and drop them into the ‚AreaSeal blywgs‘ and ‚AreaSeal blxwgs‘ fields respectively. This will help you visualize the bottom left corner point on the map.
Top left corner point data (latitude-y, longitude-x)
To see the top left corner point on the map, follow these steps: grab the data columns for the top left latitude (Y) and longitude (X). They’re usually found in the ‚Data‘ section on the far right of the dashboard. Once you’ve got those, drag and drop them into the ‚AreaSeal tlywgs‘ and ‚AreaSeal tlxwgs‘ fields respectively. This will help you visualize the top left corner point on the map.
Top right corner point data (latitude-y, longitude-x)
To see the top right corner point on the map, follow these steps: grab the data columns for the top right latitude (Y) and longitude (X). They’re usually found in the ‚Data‘ section on the far right of the dashboard. Once you’ve got those, drag and drop them into the ‚AreaSeal trywgs‘ and ‚AreaSeal trxwgs‘ fields respectively. This will help you visualize the top left corner point on the map.
Bottom right corner point data (latitude-y, longitude-x)
To see the bottom right corner point on the map, follow these steps: grab the data columns for the bottom right latitude (Y) and longitude (X).

This will help you visualize the bottom right corner point on the map.
Styling the Grid Elements
Line color
Grid line colors are pretty important as they help you see where one square starts and another ends, making everything clearer. Here’s how to jazz up those lines: first, click on the map you’re working with. Then, head over to the sidebar thingy called „visualization pane.“ Inside there, look for „format visual“ and click on that. Now, you’ll see a smaller section called „Visual.“ Find the part that says „Polygon“ and make sure it’s switched on. Cool? Next, there’s a box where you can pick colors for the lines. Click on that and choose whatever color floats your boat. Oh, and if you’re feeling fancy, you can even use custom colors by punching in some special color codes.
Line thickness
Let’s delve into adjusting the thickness of grid lines on smart grid map. This tweak is invaluable for ensuring boundary clarity, especially when you’re zoomed out. First, select your map and navigate to the visualization pane. Look for „Format Visual“ within the „Visual“ subsection. Ensure the „Polygon“ option is activated. Next, locate the second option, which controls line thickness for grid elements. You have two choices: manually input the desired thickness in pixels or adjust it using the range bar, ranging from 1 to 100. Fine-tune it until you’re satisfied with the result.
Line opacity
Making grid lines more see-through can really jazz up how things look and feel. First off, click on your map, then head over to the visualization pane. You’ll find it under „Format Visual.“ Look for the „Visual“ section, and within that, click on „Polygon.“ Make sure you toggle that switch on. Now, scroll down a bit until you spot the „line opacity“ setting for the grid elements. It’s the third one down. Click on that little white box, and you can either type in the pixel size you want or just slide that range bar from 1 to 100 next to that box until it looks just right to you
Fill color
Adding color to the grid elements in smart grid map can significantly enhance its visual appeal and engagement. To do this, first select your map, then go to the visualization pane on the right side of the screen. Under the „Format Visual“ section, find the „Visual“ sub-section and then open 2nd option „polygon“ ensure it is turned on by toggling the switch. Next, adjust the fill color by clicking on the 4th option labeled „Fill color,“ where you can choose your preferred color from the color box. If you want a specific shade, you can also enter custom color codes. This simple tweak can make your data visualization much more vibrant and interesting.
Fill opacity
To enhance smart grid map and make it more engaging, you can adjust the opacity of the color filling in grid elements. This technique helps highlight specific areas or data sets, making it easier to compare and analyze information. To do this, first select the map you want to modify, then go to the Visualization pane. Under the „Format Visual“ section, navigate to the „Visual“ sub-section and click on „Polygon“ (ensure the switch is turned on). At the bottom, you’ll find the „Fill Opacity“ option. You can adjust the opacity by clicking on the white box and either typing in a value from 1 to 100 or using the slider to set the opacity. This adjustment will control how transparent or solid the grid elements appear, enhancing the overall look and functionality of your map.

The „Press to Reset“ button is a handy feature that allows you to quickly revert any changes you’ve made in polygon´s format visual section to their original state. This button can be found at the end of polygon´s formatting visual sub-section and is especially useful when you’ve made several adjustments and want to start over without manually undoing each change. By pressing the reset button, you can instantly return all sizes and colors to their default values, saving you time and ensuring that you can easily correct mistakes or experiment with different settings without worrying about how to undo them. It’s a quick and efficient way to maintain control over visual.
Interactivity of Grid elements
Selecting and De-selecting
The selection and de-selection of single or multiple grid elements in smart grid map is incredibly helpful for users, especially those new to the tool. This feature makes exploring and comparing data much easier. When you click on single grid element or multiple grid element, you can see more detailed information and filter related visuals in real-time. You can also compare different data sets side by side, which makes the whole experience more engaging and user-friendly. For example, if you select a single grid/multiple grids, those grids get highlighted while the others fade into the background. This helps you focus on the data you’re interested in. If you want to deselect those grids, you can simply click anywhere outside the grids on the map, and everything will reset to show the original view. This interactive approach allows you to gain deeper insights and understand your data better, leading to more informed decisions and personalized analyses.
Zooming and Panning
The zooming & panning features make it easy to navigate and understand your data. For example, you can zoom in or out using your mouse scroll wheel or by clicking the plus and minus buttons in the top left corner. This lets you focus on smaller sections of the grid and see the details more clearly. If you want to move around the map, you can pan by right-clicking and holding the mouse button, then dragging the map in any direction. This allows you to explore different sections of the grid without losing your zoom level, making it easy to view various parts of your data seamlessly.In a smart grid map, selecting a grid will automatically adjust the zoom level to show that particular area clearly. If you select multiple grids, the map will zoom and adjust to display all the selected elements properly. This makes it simple to get a comprehensive view of your data, regardless of how many grids you are working with.
Data interactivity
Imagine you’re looking at a Power BI dashboard filled with various charts and graphs. Now, let’s say you want to dive deeper into a specific piece of data. By clicking on one or more grids (think of them as sections or segments of data) in these charts, you can instantly filter and highlight related information across the entire dashboard. This means that other visuals, like bar charts or pie charts, will automatically adjust to show only the data connected to those selected grids. This feature makes it much easier to focus on what’s important, cutting down on clutter and helping you navigate through the data more efficiently. It’s like having a smart assistant that helps you find exactly what you’re looking for without getting lost in a sea of information.
Data-Point/Centroid
Basics
Data-points and switch button
Imagine you have a smart grid map on your Power BI dashboard. This map shows two kinds of co-ordinates: center points (centroids) and data-points for e.g., GPS points. The centroids are like the heart of each grid section, while the data-points can be anywhere within that section, whether it’s 100 kilometers wide, 100 meters wide, or any other size. The best part is that these two types of points can work together on different visuals in your dashboard which means selecting a point in one visual can automatically update and filter related data in another visual. This interaction helps you get a clearer and more detailed understanding of the data, making it easier to analyze and make decisions. Here’s an important tip – by default, the feature to show centroids is turned off. You need to turn it on to see them on your map. To do this, go to the „format visual“ section in Power BI and switch it to ‚on.‘ This will make the centroids visible and bring your grid to life on the map!
Loading Data
Loading data (latitude-y, longitude-x)
To see the data-points, or centroids, on a Smart Grid map in Power BI, follow these simple steps. First, locate the „Center Point Data“ section in your dataset on the far right of the dashboard. Drag and drop the latitude data (labeled as „latitude-y“) into the first data field named „AreaSeal cywgs“ in the visual’s data section. At this stage, nothing will appear on the map.
Next, you need to add the longitude data (labeled as „longitude-x“) into the second field named „AreaSeal cxwgs“ in the same section. Once both the latitude and longitude data points are in place, you’ll see small dots (2 pixels in size) appear on the Smart Grid map. Don’t forget an important step: turn on the „Centroid“ option in the format pane. This option will only be available after you have inserted both the latitude and longitude data points into the visual’s data fields. Once activated, your centroids will be visible on the map.

Bubble size
Loading of bubble sizes data
Bubble size display
The bubble size feature in Power BI’s smart grid map visual is a versatile tool that enhances data visualization. It represents location data as scaled circles on the map, with the size of each bubble corresponding to a specific data point. This provides a visual representation of data distribution. Bubbles can be colored based on categorization if a field is passed into the Legend bucket. The bubble size can be scaled based on different parameters, and users can customize the appearance of bubbles. Furthermore, To do this, simply drag and drop any numerical data into the field labeled „centroid bubble size.“ from the data section visible at the most right of the power BI dashboard. By default, the bubble sizes will represent the total count of the data. If you want to change this, click the down arrow next to the „centroid bubble size“ field. This will give you options like distinct count, sum, average, and more. The data-points/centroids on the map will then adjust according to the bubble sizes with parameter you select i.e., total count, average etc thus giving you a visual representation based on your chosen parameter. note: the bubble size feature will only work on data-points/centroids, which means in order to see bubble sizes one has to fill-up centroid fields first.
Legend
Loading data
Legends
The Legends feature in Power BI’s Smart Grid Map visual is a powerful tool that enhances data visualization and interpretation. users can visually distinguish data segments based on the color codes defined in the legend. For instance, in a geographical map, different regions can be color-coded based on certain criteria, such as sales volume or population density. The legend provides a clear explanation of what each color represents, making it easier for users to understand the data at a glance. therefore, you need to move any numerical or text data into the “Legends Overall” field. You can find this field in the data section, which is located on the far right side of the dashboard. Once you do this, you’ll see pie-charts with various colors representing different data points or centroids. The data you input will directly influence these centroids or the size of the bubbles (if you’ve already added data to the input field of either data-point or both data-point & bubble size). Moreover, the legend ribbon will appear on top of the smart grid map under the header showing all the text parameter with defined color codes but this will happen only when the legend button in the format visual section is turned „on“.
Style the Legend text
Font color
In smart grid map, the legend font color is a valuable tool for enhancing the overall readability and visual appeal of reports. By choosing a font color that contrasts well with the background, users can ensure that the legend is easy to read and interpret. Additionally, matching the font color with the organization’s branding helps maintain a professional and cohesive look across all reports. Furthermore, using different font colors to differentiate data series can reduce confusion and make it easier for users to follow and understand the data presented. To change the font color of the legends in your smart grid map on Power BI, follow these steps: First, go to the „Format Visual“ pane. Once you’re there, find the „Legend“ option, which should be the first choice. Make sure to switch it on if it isn’t already. This will bring up the legend settings under the header. Click on it to open the options, and then you can easily change the font color to whatever you like.
Font style & size
Customizing the font style and size of legend text in Power BI can greatly benefit users by improving readability and enhancing visual appeal. By choosing clear and legible fonts and appropriate sizes, users can ensure that the legend text is easy to read. To change the font style and size of the legend text in a smart grid map in Power BI, follow these simple steps. First, look for the „Format Visual“ pane on the right side of your screen. Click on it to open the formatting options. Next, select the „Legend“ option, which is usually the first one in the list. Make sure the legend switch is turned „on“ so that the legend is visible in smart grid map under the visual header. Then, find the second option under the „Legend“ settings, which is labeled „Font.“ Here, you can change the text style and adjust the text size to your preference.
Background color
Employing background colors enhances the overall visual appeal of the report, contributing to a more engaging user experience. Through the strategic use of background colors, users can effectively clarify data and improve comprehension for their audience. The background color option in the legend’s dedicated ribbon under the visual header is a valuable tool for Power BI users. so, when working on your Smart Grid Map in Power BI and you want to change the background color of the legend’s ribbon, start by locating the “Format Visual Pane”, a section for customizing your visuals. Within this pane, you’ll find several options, the first of which is “Legend”. Click on it and ensure the switch button next to “Legend” is turned on. If it’s not, activate it by clicking. Then, find the “Background Color” option, which is the third option in the same section. By clicking on this “Background Color” option, you can select your desired color for the background of your legend’s ribbon. That’s all there is to it! You’ve successfully changed the background color of your legend’s ribbon.
Syncronization
syncing smart grid map
Click anywhere inside the map frame to select it. Then, click the three dots in the top right corner and choose „Sort axis“ from the menu that appears. Next, select the same option that you see in the „legend“ section of the build visual pane and ensure you choose „Sort ascending“ at the bottom of the menu. Following these steps will sync up the legend colors, making your map easier to read and understand in future if other visuals are added in the dashboard.
syncing other visuals in same dashboard
If you’re working on a Power BI dashboard and want to include a Smart Grid Map along with other visuals like pie charts or bar charts, it’s important to synchronize their legends so they display the same categories in the same order with same designated colors. To do this, click on the visual you want to align legend colors in your Smart Grid map and other visuals in the same dashboard, (condition: same legend input has to be inserted in the legend fields of other visuals,), then click the three dots (…) in the top right corner. Select „Sort axis“ from the menu, choose the same field you used for the legend in the Smart Grid Map, and then select „Sort ascending“ at the bottom. This way, all your visuals will be consistent, making your dashboard clearer and easier to understand.
save the setting
Once you’ve syncronized the legend set up just the way you like it, make sure to save your file. Then, close it down and open it back up again. Simple as that! When you do this, all those snazzy colors you’ve assigned to your legends across all your visuals will stay synced up nicely. They’ll hang tight together until you decide to mix things up again.
Interactivity
Selecting and De-selecting
When interacting with pie-charts in Power BI, users can choose either singular or multiple instances. Upon selection, singular pie-charts illuminate to indicate their status, while the simultaneous selection of multiple pie-charts results in their collective highlighting. This dynamic serves to differentiate the chosen data segments from others on the map, facilitating clarity and analysis. Conversely, deselection occurs upon clicking outside the map area, effectively resetting the selection state to its default setting. This professional approach to data manipulation ensures efficient comprehension and management of visualized information within the Power BI environment.
