Using area and point layers in the same map (with Qlik Sense)

[#1]

Hello,

Once again I am seeking for your helpful advice.

Here are the 2 maps that I show in my application (using method described here: World Mapping File For Qlik Sense Maps (KML Shape and Point))

For the left map  I use an area layer with the dimension country.
For the right map I use a point layer with the dimension city.

Ideally I would like to have only 1 map, merging the 2 maps above, so that:

First I would see the sales distribution at country level (with area layer). When selecting a country (e.g. France), I would see the cities in France (e.g. Nice, Paris) as bubbles (with point layer).

Would you know if this is feasible, or if there is any work-around?

Many thanks in advance.

Annick

I think we cannot achieve this in QlikSense directly in 1 single map.

We need to use commercial extensions for this requirement.

We are using QlikMaps (Commercial) multi layer maps for this.

Hi Annick,

My name is Trey Bayne. I work with the QlikMaps team at Analytics8. QlikMaps offers the ability to have multiple layers on the same map, as well as many other features that go well beyond native Sense mapping functionality. To get an idea, check out some of our webinars at QlikMaps.com. If you scroll to the bottom of the page you'll see the most recent two but many more are available after you follow one of the links.

I also would like to use Qlik Sense to create a map with both point (city) and polygon (states) layers. Thanks for your suggestion about QlikMaps. Satish mentions QlikMaps is commercial.

Is QlikMaps license free? Thanks!

QlikMaps is a paid license that includes all third party licensing you don't get with free extensions for maps. For more information, please visit qlikmaps.com

Hi,

Another option is IdevioMaps, check out the demos at QlikMarket.

Thanks,

Hi,

go into point layer -> options-> layer display -> calculation condition

and just write this down as your function:

if (len(GetFieldSelections(Country)) = 0, 0, 1)

That's how I managed to merge the two maps that I had into one 🙂
