How to add Area Layer based on County ?

xiaoyang — Sat, 16 Nov 2024 01:06:31 GMT

I want to color each county (Chinese county) in a map chart, that is , area layer based on county . But I failed to do that.

Looks that only point layer is supported for county level.

But I do need the function, how to make it work in Qlik Sense ?

It looks like that admin level is not supported for China. See attached for supported coverage areas.

You could take a county map for China and convert it to a clickable map layer and load it in as a base layer. Some instructions on this can be found here:

Many Thanks for your reply, Steven.

Can you help me understand what is Adm1, Adm2, Adm3 ? Is that the location levels like in China: Province/City/County ?

@xiaoyang

Yes, exactly. These levels represent different location levels.

Ex. Admin 1 in the US would be State, Admin 2 would be County.
