Category Hierarchy on map drill-down

Hi all,

 

I have a question with map category. I activated the drill down option and press the UK as a country. Then, I could see the following cities. Until here, everything works perfect. My question is if you know any way to only show "city", rather than "city, country".

 

My fields have data categories as Country, City and Post Code.

How are the cities stored in the dataset that you are using?

Are they stored with the format City, Country?

 

Maybe it is a data issue and not a visual one

Hi @themistoklis ,

 

The cities are stored only by name. If I use a Map object only with cities, I don't have that problem. It appears when I activate the drill down option with the country on the first position. Is it possible to desactivate this automaticaaly concatenate?

 

Thank you

 

Marc

Unfortunately there is no option to prevent dimensions from showing as comma seperated labels when you use the drill down option.
