This video shows you how to create a map with a chart layer in Qlik Sense
A chart layer enables you to display small pie charts or bar charts over locations in your map
To create a chart layer in a map, first drag and drop a map chart into your sheet
Select a field and drag and drop into your map
In this example, we select Region and we add it as an area layer
This layer will be used to highlight the regions contained in the data
Next, drag and drop the same field into your map, but this time add it as a chart layer
In Size & Shape you can select if you want to use pie charts or bar charts in your chart layer
We’ll select pie chart and then we will add  data to populate the chart
Under Slice, we are going to add Product Group as a dimension
For the angle, we are going to add the sum of Sales as a measure
Now, we are going to limit the number of Product Group displayed to the Top 5
and deselect the Show others option
In Size & Shape, you can reduce the size of the pie chart
You have also the option to size the chart by a measure
In this case, we will size the chart by Margin
In Colors, you can customize the colors of the pie chart
In this example, we will color it by measure
We will choose Margin from the list to color the chart accordingly
And here is the map chart with the chart
layer
When you mouse over the chart
The info bubble displays useful information about the content of the selected chart
The process is similar when you want to create a bar chart
As before, we are going to add the Region field
First as an area layer and then as a chart layer
In Size & Shape, select the Bar chart
and then select Data to add your data to the chart layer
In the bar field, we add Product type as the dimension
and the sum of sales as the measure
In this case we are going to reduce the number of bars to the Top 3 Products
and then we are going to deselect the
include null values and show others checkboxes
You can then reduce the height and width of the bar charts if you want
Next, set how the bars will be colored
In this case we color the bars
In Sorting, we will change the order of the measures to adjust the order of bars in the charts
And here’s the result
As you can see, the map chart will display a bar char on it
and if you pass over with the mouse you receive detailed information on the content of the chart
And that concludes this video, thanks for watching!
