To create a filled map:
- Double click on the Billing State/Province field.
- Drag Expected Revenue on the Colors mark.
- Change the mark type to Maps, as shown in Figure 5.65.
Figure 5.65: Creating filled map
The result should look something like the map in Figure 5.66:

We can use the tools mentioned above to zoom in and bring to the center of the view exactly the section of the map we want to show. From here we can see there is a distinct geographic pattern to the revenue we expect, with clusters of states that are close geographically and also present higher revenues.
In conclusion, this chapter has provided you with the knowledge and tools needed to create more advanced visualizations like donut charts, bar-in-bar charts, and maps. You’ve also learned how to harness the power of filters and calculated fields to customize and improve your data analysis. By following the steps outlined in this chapter, you can now dive deeper into your Salesforce data using Tableau, and more effectively communicate your insights to stakeholders.
