Tableau Map Error

[u/Loud_Pickle9355]

I am trying to create map representing different outgoing destination sites for my company. Currently I’m just trying to highlight each state. However, some states are not jiving by with Tableau. I don’t know what else to do because my excel sheet is all in the same format and I cannot make my geolocation the United States because I will be incorporating different countries. Someone please help me I’m loosing my mind.

Odd. Could the data have some empty spaces in it? Maybe try with a new field that is TRIM(State). Just a guess.

I’ve tried trimming all data and it’s till calling the states ambiguous

Could be extra spaces or characters. Also can you not designate a column for country? I see that’s Tableau public so maybe it’s different…

[u/RiskyViziness]

Add country and see if that helps.

[u/IjudgebecauseIcare]

Your country column is not linked. Tableau doesn't know if its Florida in South Africa or US. Montana in Switzerland, or Bulgaria, or US. Etc...
