# Map Charts

> Set up World Map, Indian States, Geo Map, Geo Map with Bar, and Geo Map with Scatter.

Map charts show values by geographic region. The map type depends on the geography in your data.

## Chart Types

| Chart                      | Geography                        |
| -------------------------- | -------------------------------- |
| **World Map**              | Countries                        |
| **Indian States**          | Indian states/territories        |
| **Geo Map**                | US states                        |
| **Geo Map (with bar)**     | US states with bar chart overlay |
| **Geo Map (with scatter)** | US states with scatter overlay   |

## 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.
