Excel provides a function that allows you to link data to pivot maps. The spreadsheet editor searches for editable images in Bing to assemble maps with the indicated cell metadata. The feature is useful for drawing diagrams with information of a particular area and connecting them to the geographical figure of the place in question. The user can change colors and customize the map as desired. Learn how to create dynamic maps with Excel spreadsheet data in the following tutorial.

Step 5. Importing maps by Excel is driven by the limitations of the Bing platform. Therefore, it is important to check country or state nomenclatures in Microsoft Search before using the feature. Thus, using data with country, state and city names, it is possible to create maps of the globe or specific to each country or region of the world.
