I have a column that has a bunch of country codes and I have created a calculated column to "transform" this codes into the country name (see below) doing so I could use Filled map to fill the countries with the data needed. But the tricky situation is that I need to fill Middle East, Eastern Africa and Central Africa and Bing does not fill it. Is there any way to fill those regions? Maybe create a new column? But how to relate the Code with more than one country?
In my database I have some IDs that references a country code and I use the Switch function to create the country name column.
Is switch function the best way to do that?
Market Name = SWITCH(Folder[ParentID];6939;"CHINA";6940;"Eastern Africa";6941;"Indonesia";6942;"Japan";6943;"Korea";6944;"Sri Lanka";6945;"Malaysia";6946;"New Zealand";6947;"Filipinas";6948;"Thailand";6949;"Turkey";6950;"South Africa";6951;"Australia";6952;"Egypt";6953;"Ghana";6954;"Israel";6955;"India";6956;"Middle East";6957;"Pakistan";6958;"Vietnam";6959;"Kenya";6960;"Central Africa";6585;"Australia" )
Hi @brlimagu,
Since you only have country code, creating a new column of country name is essential. Switch function is good.
If you want to group many country into a big region, you can add a conditional column, then add it to the legend.
1. Add a conditional column. It's Zone in my example.
2. Create a measure for the color saturation like this:
ColorValues = CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Table1'[Value] ); ALLEXCEPT ( Table1; 'Table1'[Zone] ) )
3. You can see there are three colors and the value of each country of each zone is the same respective. So the color would be the same.
Best Regards!
