Maps: not all cities automatically recognised

[florian890]

Dear all,

I run into more and more places which are not automatically geotagged in the system.

How can I make the system use geocoordinates if I have them in my xls file?

Thanks once more,

Florian

I think the only possibility is a mapping table. Could you mention some example where qlik hasn't recognized the places?

Thanks for your feedback!

e.g. Cham in Switzerland, CH or But in France (78535 post code) or Oakwood Village (Ohio) USA even though Oakwood I have not completed verification...

Thanks for your kind help,

Florian

This site CSV has Cham, maybe you can use this file as a geo file and map it in your data model.

Great, thank you for your feedback. Now the question is: how do I map something in?

Should I close this discussion and open a new one or are you still willing/patient enough to help further?

here is an example:

[LongLati2]:

LOAD [AccentCity],

[Latitude],

[Longitude],

  GeoMakePoint(Latitude,Longitude) as GeoPoint

FROM [lib://Mapping/LongLati2.txt]

(txt, utf8, embedded labels, delimiter is ',', msq);

MapMap:

Mapping Load

[AccentCity],

    GeoPoint

Resident LongLati2;

drop table LongLati2;

[Sheet1]:

LOAD [City],

[Value],

    ApplyMap('MapMap',[City], 'N/A') as GeoPoint

FROM [lib://Mapping/testdata01.xlsx]

(ooxml, embedded labels, table is Sheet1);
