Bing Maps: Shaded Maps - Adding Statistics
As well as displaying values - for example the number of People on a map - you can also generate and display a calculated statistic for those people being represented on the map.
Let’s use the example of Occupations by Postal Areas created here . We can now amend this example to optionally display the total profit each of those occupations (in the specific Postal Area) has contributed to our business.
-
Click on the Layer tab (Entitled Occupations by Postal Areas)
-
Click on the Add Statistics… button to display the Statistics window

-
Click on the radio button Specify other Table, Variable or Expression
-
We can now drag on the Profit variable and select the statistic we want to apply (in this example Sum)

-
Click OK
-
Within the Statistics panel change the Primary Statistic from People to Sum(Profit)

Click the Build button
When we move the mouse pointer over a chart, the tool tip that is displayed now shows the total profit figure per occupation for the Postal Area they live in.
