In this Tableau tutorial<\/strong><\/a>, we are going to study about Tableau Custom Territories on Map and how to create custom territories in Tableau and many other things. So, let us start with Tableau Custom Territories.<\/p>\n

Tableau Custom Territories<\/h3>\n

You can produce Tableau custom territories on a map by grouping locations along. For instance, if you have got a map of total sales for every state within the U.S., you’ll be able to mix many or all of these states into a bunch to make a sales territory.<\/p>\n

When you produce Tableau custom territories, adds a separate geographic cluster field within the knowledge pane. Your existing geographic fields aren’t modified.<\/p>\n

How to Create Custom Territories on a Map?<\/h3>\n

Following steps are helping to build Tableau custom territories, let’s discuss them one by one:<\/p>\n

i. Double-click on the Country field under Dimensions in the sidebar. The double-click action places this field in the details property and creates a map with dots that represent the country of the respective airports, as well as the built-in Latitude and Longitude fields to Rows and Columns respectively.<\/p>\n

ii. Press Ctrl<\/em> + drag the Latitude (generated) pill in the Rows shelf to the Rows shelf, to the right of the existing pill, to make a second copy. This will generate a second map in the view:<\/p>\n
