Hi folks,
I am trying to build a dashboard in QLik Sense using the map to add an area within country. I have the latitude & longitude of every machine, the problem is that I have no country field name in my data set, so I am trying to use lat & long to achieve this. Is it possible to populate country & state codes based on a machines lat & long location.
did some research and found something in google around api's, but there seems to be a price involved in this.
any ideas please
Not sure on the cost for Geocoding subscription in GeoAnalytics.
Of course you could use other geo apis like Google Maps or Here. Some have a free limit, depending on the data volume they may be enough for you. But you would also need some scripting magic to get the response from their APIs.
This is a good starting point: http://livingqlikview.com/wheres-qlik-waldo/. In this scenario, he wants to get the coordinates. Note that you need the inverse, so you'll need to change the code a bit.
It is called reverse geocoding - you pass the coordinates and get in return the address.
If you have GeoAnalytics, you could use it to make a a geoprocessing and intersect the coordinates with state and country shapes.
GeoAnalytics also has a reverse geocoding feature, but it is an add-on subscription-based.
thanks for the quick response, I will look into that, have you any idea of the cost involved to get it added on.
I am currently using Qliksense server version nov 2018 version.
thanks
