About this chart
A geo bubble chart for Excel — a world map with a bubble chart layered on top to show values from a table. Highly stylized and great to deconstruct.
Good to know: this is built as a reference file to study and customize, not a drag-and-drop template. You connect your own data and adjust it to fit — that's the point. You learn exactly how it's made.
What's included
- A world-map bubble chart
- A table-driven, layered map visualization
- A reference for building custom geo charts
How it works
Values in a table drive the bubbles over the map image. Adding new locations is manual: you enter X/Y coordinates and update the map image.
Who it's for
Anyone who wants a custom map visualization without a mapping add-in.
Excel compatibility
Designed for Microsoft Excel on Windows and Mac — Microsoft 365 or Excel 2021 recommended. Built for Excel, not Google Sheets.
