Resolution
Workaround 1: Create Territories on a Map
Please use one of the following methods to group the wards together and display them as a city.- Option 1: Select and group locations on a map
- Option 2: Create a territory from a geographic field
- Option 3: Geocode a territory field using another geographic field *Check the attached ordinance-designated_city.twbx to see the demonstrated option 3.
See Create Territories on a Map, Assign Geographic Roles for more detail and directions.
Workaround 2: Use external map data
Load and display external map data (spatial files) without using Tableau's geographic roles function.See Create a Municipal Area Map in Tableau for directions.
Cause
By design, ordinance-designated cities are recognized and displayed by wards within the cities. e.g. Yokohama city, Sendai city.Additional Information
