Labelling a Log-scale Color Bar












0














I am producing a map and this map is broken up into small districts. I shade these districts according to the percentage of people with the surname Smith who speak a given language. At the top of the graph I have the surname with the language in brackets after it. At the bottom, I have a Color Bar. The Color Bar shows how white corresponds to 0% and red with 100%.



enter image description here



Under the Color Bar I have the following text:




% locally of Smiths who speak the given language.



This informs the viewer that the Color Bar relates to percentages and they can see its linear nature.



However, I would like to use a log scale instead. In this case the map is shaded according to the number of people per 100,000 with the given language. And the Color Bar now looks like this:



enter image description here



However I can't think of a good textual description for this. What would you recommend? Something like this maybe:




Number of Smiths per 100,000, speaking this language locally.

          Trompette piccolo

          Image
          Ne doit pas être confondu avec trompette de poche. Trompette piccolo en si bémol, avec des branches d'embouchure différentes pour le si bémol (la plus courte) ou la (la plus longue) Trompette piccolo La trompette piccolo est la plus petite de la famille des trompettes. Elle joue une octave plus haut que la trompette standard en si bémol. La plupart des trompettes piccolo sont conçues pour jouer dans les deux tonalités de si bémol ou la, en utilisant une branche d'embouchure différente pour chaque tonalité. Le tube de la trompette piccolo en si bémol a une longueur moitié de celle de la trompette normale en si bémol. Des trompettes piccolo en sol, fa, ut sont également fabriquées, mais elles sont rares. La trompette soprano en ré, aussi connu comme la « trompette Bach », a été inventée vers 1890 par le facteur belge Victor-Charles Mahillon pour jouer les parties hautes de la trompette dans la musique de Bach et Haendel. La trompette piccolo moderne permet aux

          What visual should I use to simply compare current year value vs last year in Power BI desktop

          Image
          0 I have column SubToBind that shows current year ratio and column PY SubToBind which shows previous year ratio. How can I simply create a card that would be displaying them both in a nice way? Something like that: I cannot achieve that with regular card, I also tried Card with States by OKViz but also unable to see both values. In KPI visual - I dont like the word "Goal", it will confuse end users. Are there any cards or other visuals that would do the job?
