How can I create a map with area layer in Qlik Sense

[#1]

Hello,

I am quite new with Qlik Sense and would like to create a map using an area layer.

In my load script, I have the following lines:

Sales:

Load *,

GeoMakePoint(LAT,LONG) as GeoPoint;

Load * inline

[

ID,      SaleDate,   SalePrice,  SalePoint,  LAT,   LONG

1001, 10/1/2016,  200,            NCE,         43.7,   2.25

1002, 10/01/2016, 200,           PAR,         14.7,   23.10

1003, 10/01/2016, 200,           LON,         28.7,   8.25

1004, 10/01/2016, 200,          MAD,         39.7,   13.25

1005, 09/02/2016, 100,          LON,          28.7,   8.25

1006, 09/02/2016,  100,         PAR,         14.7,   23.10

1007, 11/02/2016,  300,        NYC,          43.9,   56.25

];

When I create the map it only allows Point Layer, i.e. this type of display with bubbles:

Instead, I would like to have this type of visualization (i.e with colors per area):

Many thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Annick,

You should follow the example described here:

World Mapping File For Qlik Sense Maps (KML Shape and Point)

Hope this helps!

Hi Annick,

You should probably use a polygon map with KML file here.

This video should help:

Using the Maps Chart Object - Polygon Map - Part 2 - (video)

Also check this link. It has a world KML file which you can use.

KML US and World Map and Sample Data
