Procedure

Create a filled map

  1. Click Visualize (the bar chart icon in the tool bar). The Visuals panel opens.
  2. Click Add.

  3. Click the Filled map icon.

  4. Drag a dimension from the Data panel into the Location field well. A filled map appears with each location in your data filled in by the number of times they appear in your dataset (the count). If the field is part of a geographic hierarchy, the hierarchy displays in the field well.

  5. (Optional) Drag a measure into the Color field well. Each location updates to show the sum of the measure.
