SAS Viya Visual Analytics Geography Data Loading issue

eunicelover — Thu, 18 Apr 2024 21:52:42 GMT

Hi,

When I try to get a map using geography data and some data tip values and color (as you can see in data roles), I obtain a warning message (No matches were found for supplied geography data items, No map features have valid location information. Please check the Geography type) and no map to show.

When I maximize the map, then the detailed data table shows everything correctly.

Other students are not having this issue. How can I solve this problem?

Please help me and thanks so much.

Typically this message is shown if a geographic data item is not properly configured (e.g. using a wrong mapping). However, given you mentioned that other users don't have this issue and can load and render the geo map correctly - it may just be an isolated issue. Sometimes browser security / firewall setting may prevent loading the geo map and related map tiles but this may be difficult to explore in detail here in the forum. I would probably recommend getting in touch with SAS tech support so they can walk thru some debug steps.

If you have created your own report and encounter this issue, please let us know how you configured the 'Employee Country' data item. Especially what geographic mapping you have selected.

Thanks! Falko

Hello,

When you created the geography data item, it is likely that you specified the wrong type of lookup. It looks like your data contains ISO 2-Letter Codes, but perhaps you selected Country or Region Names. That would give the result that you are seeing.

Let us know if that helps,
