How should I create a map loading geographic data?

I tried to create a map loading geographic data. A customer base with the latitude and longitude of each client but it does not show the points on the sheet inside my map.

The format of my file is EXCEL:

     

CompanyNameCountryCityCityLatitudeCityLongitude
Company1ArgentinaBuenos Aires-34.60639-58.37383
Company2ArgentinaRosario-32.945081-60.642199
Company3ArgentinaCordoba-31.423370-64.177876

The steps I took are the following:

1- Create a new app called maps

2- Add data from the data manager

3- In the data loader I unlocked "Automatically generated section"

And modified the upload script:

LOAD

    CompanyName,

    Country,

    City,

    CityLatitude,

    CityLongitude,

    GeoMakePoint(CityLatitude,CityLongitude) as CityMapPoint

FROM [lib://Sense/Mapas.xlsx]

(ooxml, embedded labels, table is [Reports (10)]);

4- I clicked "Upload Data"

5- Create a new sheet and drag a map

6- I added the dimension "City"

But it did not show me the points.

What is the problem?

Thanks for your helps!

Hey, your data from CityLatitude and CityLongditude has to be with comma and not with point.

Company1ArgentinaBuenos Aires-34,60639-58,37383
Company2ArgentinaRosario-32,945081'-60,642199

I was using bubble layer with dimension "City" and for Latitude / ID use CityLatitude, for Longitude use CityLongitude.

That worked for me.
