    Issue

    Unable to use underlying data from map data layers to create calculated fields or do further data analysis.

    Environment

    Tableau Desktop

    Resolution

    Use the following workaround:
    1. Access underlying data from Tableau map partners or another source. For more information about Tableau map partners, see About Tableau Maps.
    2. Connect to this data from Tableau Desktop.

    Cause

    The data used to build maps in Tableau is part of the mapping service and so is not available for analysis, querying, or joins.
