Unable to create map charts in Excel 2016 for regions and cities

[Shivangi Pandit]

Hello All,

I have created a map chart for Germany at city and region level.However excel is not able identify different cities or regions it is showing only one data point for entire germany.

Please see attached xls.What i want is different regions/cities should be highlighted as per data points.

Is there any way to do this or it is a "location search" problem?

Awaiting any reply.

Thanks.

Hi Shivangi,

Map Chart is sensitive to columns name (and not only). If you rename your Region column to Province it more or less works, see second sheet in attached.

And it doesn't work on cities level

Map charts can only plot high-level geographic details, so cities, latitude and longitudes, and street address mapping isn’t supported.

There is a way to map city data in Excel and after playing around with this for hours I figured it out, wrote it up and created a video

I hope this helps... I would have saved me a pile of frustration.
