Optional, If you want to select a theme feel free select one.
Select data source World Population data module.
On the left cell add a Map. Now for map we have multiple options to link our data.\n\t
1. First option we can directly add location name and our business measure. With this option, if IBM Cognos Analytics is able to understand the location it will display it on the map.
2. Second, we have the option to share the location Latitude and Longitude. The IBM Cognos Analytics display measures based on the provided Latitude and Longitude. Now for this we have again two options for Latitude and Longitude format. Latitude and Longitude in a single column or Latitude and Longitude on separate column.
