Excel Power View: World Economic Outlook

Power View is a powerful add-in that allows us to visualize  the information included in PowerPivot. It includes a canvas page where we can create maps, add charts, upload images and setup tiles.  It has some characteristics similar to Tableau. In this posting I included an small example where I mapped the countries with the highest GDP growth in 2013 and added their respective flags, name and values. It is possible to choose other variables, and years. The world map was created automatically from Bing maps, and the flag images were uploaded from different URL addresses. This new concept of dynamic dashboards will definitively help Excel to compete with other database visualization software
