multiple geographies on the same state

we have data where we have multiple geographies within the same state. however, when the map is drawn, it is coloring and displaying only the first geography

 

is there anyway around this to have it show the states as multiple colors

In this scenario, since you have multiple entries for same state, it must "aggregate" when you analyze data on state level. You should add a lower granularity column like city, then put city column into visual so that it can show corresponding color for each city. Otherwise, it will always show only 1 color for state.
