How to create a Choropleth Map without coding
You need to visualize geographic trends, and you know a Choropleth Map is the perfect chart for the job.
But when you try to make one in traditional tools like Excel, you realize it lacks detail and requires complex setup. You waste hours looking for tutorials or templates, only to end up with a static image that you can't interact with.
You need a better way.
The Problem with Traditional Tools
Most BI tools treat the Choropleth Map as an "advanced" feature. They require:
- Specific data formatting (that takes hours).
- Installing custom scripts or plugins.
- Writing code (Python/R) just to get the dots to show up.
