Power BI’s heatmap is a potent tool for business users, transforming complex data into visually striking patterns. It uses color intensity to reveal hotspots and trends, making it ideal for analysing customer behaviour, and correlations between variables. Imagine identifying busy hours in a retail store, or visualizing customer preferences across demographics – all in a single, intuitive chart. This rapid insight empowers business users to make data-driven decisions, optimize operations, and ultimately boost efficiency and profitability.
Purchase the visual from AppSource by completing the checkout process. Then, add licenses.

Once I assign a license, how long does it take until I can use it? Once you have successfully assigned licenses in the Microsoft 365 Admin Center, it should be available within an hour.
- If you’re using the licensed visual in the Power BI Service, refresh the report by hitting F5.
- If you’re using the licensed visual in the Power BI Desktop, close and reopen it.
If, after you refresh, the license is still not available, wait a while and try again. It could take up to an hour.
Who can assign licenses after the purchase is complete? If the tenant admin owns the licenses (Org licenses), then any of the license admins (Global Admin, License Admin or User Admin) can manage the licenses. However, if the subscription owner isn’t an admin, then only the purchaser can manage the subscription and licenses.
Can we use a visual without having to upload it to organization visual? Yes. You can download a visual directly to your reports.
How do we get upgrades of the visuals? The AppSource visuals are updated automatically when a new version is available.
How do I know if someone in my company has already purchased this same visual? If you’re a company administrator, sign in to the Microsoft 365 admin center to see all subscriptions and to whom they’re assigned.
If you aren’t an administrator, speak to the administrator in your company.
