Quicksight Filled map not working

Question & Answer

Hello everyone,

I am trying to create a visual on a country data with some amounts and aiming to get it into a Filled map visual. However, I am unable to get any visuals with filled map including not any numeric visual. It seems like its not processing the data. I tried using the same data for points on map and its working out nicely. Interestingly, when I started, I was able to get the filled map visual but while I was doing some formatting, it went away and stopped working.

Few troubleshooting that I already did:

  1. Played around with country info in the dataset
  2. Changed dataset
  3. Refreshed the datasets
  4. Used conditional formatting
  5. Tried adding hierarchy and stuff but to be honest, I just have a couple of countries and some numeric data so there is no hierarchy

Nothing seems to work out. Let me know if there is a solution to this. Also attached is the visual for points on map with the same data that I have been using.

Regards,
Darshan

Hi @darsgala

It looks like you’ve tried many steps already, and the issue could be related to the way its processing your data or rendering the Filled Map. Here are some additional steps to consider for resolving this issue

  • Ensure that the column representing country information is set as a Geographic data type (Country or Region). You can confirm this in the dataset field settings.
  • Verify that there are no extra spaces or inconsistencies (like differing abbreviations) in your country names.
  • Start with just the country field and a simple sum or average for the amounts, without adding conditional formatting or other custom configurations. Sometimes complex configurations can cause rendering issues.
  • Log out of QuickSight, clear your browser cache, and then log back in to ensure there are no session-related issues causing the problem.
  • Double-check whether there are any active filters that could be blocking the data from appearing in the Filled Map.
  • If none of the above work, create a new dataset with just a few rows of data and test the Filled Map visual. Sometimes, recreating the visual from scratch helps reset any other configuration issues.

Please refer the below documentation this might be helpful for you.

Thanks @Xclipse for responding back!

Opening another tab in the same browser and deleting browsing history, cookies and caches and then refreshing the visualization worked out for me!
