Grouping Regions in Dashboard Maps

Hi

I’m working on a dashboard where i want to group countries into multiple sections.

So for example everything east of Germany ‘East’. Etc.

I thought it would be as simple as changing the region keys on the map component however this doesn’t work. The three countries I’ve allocated the same key to are not interactive anymore and are permanently highlighted.

Anyone have any ideas how to get around this?

Thanks

Can you decode east in your excel model to mean the three affected counties and then pass in native format to the map component?

If i understand what you mean yes this would work but doesn’t fulfill my requirements.

So for example UK and Ireland are separate entities on the map component but i want then to be grouped so when a user clicks either country, both countries are highlighted and return the appropriate value.

The component allows you to change the region key (so i could make a UK including Ireland and return the whole value) however my problem is i can’t associate more than one country with the same key.
