Map

The map chart displays a place as a bubble on a map. Optionally, the bubble can be sized and colored by measures. Adding a slice with a map chart (i.e., a map slice) is a good choice when users want to see geographic information.

Adding a map slice

To add a map slice:

• select Map from the chart list

Select Map from the dropdown

• select the place column you want to display as a bubble on the map

• select a measure to use for the bubble size (optional)

• select a measure to use for the bubble color (optional)

• select a map style

• add slice text (optional)

A map slice

The map slice requires that you have a place column. A place column is a special type of column that has associated latitude and longitude fields.
