True or False: It is possible to change the Geographic Role of a dimension

• A.True
• B.False

Correct Answer: A

Explanation
A geographic role associates each value in a field with a latitude and longitude value.
Assigning a geographic role based on the type of location (such as state versus postcode) helps ensure that your data is plotted correctly on your map view. For example, you can assign the City geographic role to a field that contains a list of city names.
To assign a geographic role to a field:
In the Data pane, click the data type icon next to the field, select Geographic Role, and then select the geographic role you want to assign to the field.

When you assign a geographic role to a field, Tableau adds two fields to the Measures area of the Data pane:
Latitude (generated) and Longitude (generated).
These fields contain latitude and longitude values and are assigned the Latitude and Longitude geographic roles.
If you double-click each of these fields, Tableau adds them to the Columns and Rows shelves and creates a map view using the Tableau background map.

2) But, this isn't all right? We need to focus on the year 2013. This can be done by using the year column as it is (continuous) in the filter shelf, or by converting it to discrete first and then using it:
2.1 As it is (continuous)

2.2 Converting to discrete first & then using it

and then :

3) We can now see that France, with 485 has the 2nd most number of patents for the year 2013
