Map geospatial data with a filled map

- [Instructor] Use Excel's Maps feature if you want to be able to display
information about different regions. For example, countries, states, geographic
regions, or even postal codes, like zip codes. This has gotten much easier now with
the addition of a new data type. So I'm going to select one of the states, Alaska. And
I'm going to go to Data and under Data Types choose Geography. And I'm going to
give Excel a moment to do an analysis. And it says, ah, that's a geography data
type. And I know that because it has assigned the map icon that shows that this is
geography, the same icon we see here. But I need to do all of these, all of my
states. Data types include a lot of information. So for example, if I wanted to know
the population of each of these states, I could simply add it. Scroll down to
population and it will be dropped in automatically. That's slick. I'm going to undo
this because what I want to be able to create a map of is the number of units that
have been sold in each state. So I'm going to select my regions and my units, choose
Map, Filled Map and there is my map that shows each of the regions, each of the
states, and from light blue to dark blue, what their sales were like. Now, I have other
chart styles that are available to me. If I have a dark background on my slide, I might
like that. This isn't bad. And note that in both of these cases, the darker background
makes it stand out a little more. I have a chart title so I can change my chart title to
Mini Solar Sales by State. And this shows me the number of units. If I wanted to add
a chart element, like a data label, notice that I can show data labels right on the
states if I wish. Your choice. We can do this. Or if I select my data labels, I can choose
to have the series name. I can choose how my numbers are formatted and so on.
