Creating filled maps

To create a filled map

1. Add a new visual to your analysis. For more information about starting analyses, see Starting an analysis in Amazon QuickSight. For more information about adding visuals to analyses, see Adding a visual.

2. For Visual type, choose the Filled map icon.

   

3. Drag a geographic field from the Fields list pane to the Location field well, for example Country.

   A filled map appears with each location in your data filled in by the number of times they appear in your dataset (the count).

   If the field is part of a geographic hierarchy, the hierarchy displays in the field well.

4. (Optional) Drag a measure from the Fields list pane to the Color field well, for example Sales.

   Each location updates to show the sum of sales.
