How to Create a Map in Qlik Sense

‍

This tutorial shows how to build a map visualization in Qlik Sense using location data to display geographic distributions across your dataset.

Notes:

• Your data must include a location field such as country, city, or coordinates (latitude/longitude).
• Qlik Sense uses map layers to display data; point, area, and line layers are available.
• Map visualizations require an active internet connection to render the base map tiles.
  

1. Log in and open your Qlik Sense app, and click Edit sheet in the top right to enter Edit mode.
2. Click the blank area on a sheet or drag the Map visualization from the Charts panel on the left onto the sheet.
3. In the map properties panel on the right, click Add layer and select Point layer, Chart layer, or Area layer from the menu.
4. Under the Dimensions section, click Add and select your location field (for example, Code, Country, or Industry).
5. Under the Measures section, click Add and select the metric you want to display on the map, for example, Number of Employees for Avg([Number of Employees]).
6. Adjust the Layer style settings - such as size, color, and opacity - to make the points readable at a glance.
7. Click Edit sheet to exit Edit mode and interact with your map by hovering over data points to view details.
