00:00 How to Create Interactive Map Charts in Excel
03:03 Adding Map Picture
06:12 Data Preparation
07:40 Setting Up the Chart
09:29 Adding Interactivity to the Chart
12:08 Updating the Bubble Chart
15:03 Conditionally Format Data Points

The technique shown uses a scatter plot first to set up the respective points on the map and then turns it into a bubble chart to be able to visualize the actual KPI.

I also show you how you can conditionally format specific data points to bring the attention to certain categories. In this case I conditionally format the largest data point in the chart in a different color than the rest. This technique is really simple but has a very powerful effect. It makes the difference between a "nice" Excel dashboard to a "great" Excel dashboard. All it takes is 3 minutes of your time.
