Hello,
Can someone please explain me why I get empty maps when using the geo data from the attached Excel file?
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1q9RRXMOCTwTK66XlKDBZu9qHexkzFtJ672Mi5yUsBU4
I read all the tricks and tips, but all I get is an empty map.
This used to be working but now it doesn't.
Solved! Go to Solution.

HI @webportal,
I test your data and it works well on my side. Can you please provide more detail contents?
