Map

Hi and thanks in advance for your help

 

I'm a beginner user.

 

I made a spreadsheet with Sales by Puerto Rico Municipalities.

When I use map visualization it does not show up correctly.

How I can solve this.

Hi @enieves ,

 

Can you show more details?

What are the columns and data type in the table?

Which filed each column is placed?

 

Best Regards,

Jay

Hi @enieves ,

 

You will  need to change the data type.

Select the Column and then change the Data Category under the Modeling menu to respective field
