Thematic maps from an imported file on business analyst online

Question

Hi there,

I have a simple excel spreadsheet with 2 columns: zip code, items sold.

Is there a way to produce a thematic map on business analyst online (BAO) with the sales as the measure?

I can see the map with the geographic boundaries but they are all the same colour.

I also know how to create thematic maps with existing variables in BAO but not with an imported file.

Is this doable?

Hello Axel,

I just wanted to inform you that this workflow is implemented in the December release of Business Analyst web App.

Go to: Add Data > Custom Data Setup > Start Setup > Select a file to import > select geographic boundaries > set up your variables > use your data in all supported workflows from the data browser.

Here is the help doc: Custom Data Setup—Business Analyst Web App | Documentation

With this new feature, you can bring in your tabular data and join it to a geographic boundaries so that you can use your own data in all analysis and reporting workflows.

Best regards,

Fasil T

Yes! Thank you very helpful.

It's such a common and useful action that in my view would make sense to make it part of a formal workflow.

Thanks again!
