Data Requirements

  • One dimension with region names (country names, US state names, or Indian state names — must match map geography)
  • One or more measures (values to color or size the regions)

​
How to Set Up

  1. Create a metric with a region dimension (e.g., country, state) and a measure.
  2. Click the Charts icon and choose the map type that matches your geography.
  3. Under Required Axis:
    • Horizontal Axis: The region/country/state column. Values must match the map (e.g., “United States” for World Map, “California” for Geo Map).
    • Vertical Axis: The measure(s) for color or size.
  4. For Geo Map (with bar) or Geo Map (with scatter), the map shows regions with additional bar or scatter overlays.

​
Region Name Matching

Region names in your data must match the map’s expected values (e.g., “United States” not “USA” for World Map). Rows that don’t match any region may appear in a separate table or be omitted.
