How to create a drillable geo-map

Nandani — Wed, 29 May 2024 17:17:36 GMT

Hi,

I am new to SAS. I want to create a geo-map displaying frequency of occurrences of something. but it should be able to access countries, states and cities in the map. I tried with geo-hierarchy. But after creating the geo map, it was not drillable to states and cities. Only displaying country info on the map.

Help me if you know how to do this.

Appreciate your help.

Are you using SAS Visual Analytics for this? I'm guessing that's the case given the steps you've described so far. I'll move this topic to the SAS VA forum.

I'm not sure what apps are in that offering. When you are creating the geo maps, does the app say "SAS Visual Analytics" at the top, or is it something else?

Here is what VA looks like:

Drillable geomaps are supposed to work and they do work in newer versions of VA.

When I try it on VA 8.5, it looks like there is a bug in the filter part of the drill-down:

Is that the behavior you are seeing? If you could report this to SAS Technical Support, it is possible we could attempt to hotfix the 8.5 release.

If you get a newer version of VA, this should be working the way you would expect.
