See Data styles to learn about data style options and see Smart map styles to learn about smart map cards.

To apply or change a style, complete the following steps:

1. In the Layers list, click Layer options on a data layer and click Symbology .

   Tip:

   The Symbology option is active only for layers created using Microsoft Power BI data.

   The Symbology pane appears.

2. On the Build visual tab in the Visualization pane, add the attributes to style from the Data pane in your report.

   Only the smart map styles that apply to the specified data appear. For example, if you provide only location data, the location (single symbol) and heat map styles appear. If you add numeric size data, the counts and amounts (size) smart map style appears.

3. Click the style card and choose a smart map style.

   The map updates automatically when you make a selection.

4. Hover over the style card and click Style options to customize the look of the layer.
