3589659 - Geo Map chart notification: "Location filter cannot be loaded." in SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC)

• When filtering in the Geo Map, "Filter selected data points on the location layer" is greyed out at the last hierarchy level of the location in the SAC.
• Notification: "Location filter cannot be loaded."

SAP Analytics Cloud

1. Login to SAC.
2. Open the story where a Geo Map chart and a table is inserted, and linked analysis is set for those widgets.
3. In the up left corner of the Geo Map chart, select the icon hierarchy: Navigate up/down the hierarchy.
4. Select the dimension Location under your layer.
5. Select the lowest hierarchy level e.g. Sub-Region 2.
6. Select one of the bubbles on the map and right click => Filter will be available.
7. Now Filter => OK, filtering will happen both Geo Map and the table.
8. Right click - Filter => OK, filtering will happen both Geo Map and the table.
9. Select again on one of the bubbles and right click => Filter will be greyed out with notification: "Location filter cannot be loaded." Even though there will be a possibility to drill down more.

• This behavior is by design.
• The choropleth layer has 4 shape levels (Country-Region-SubRegion1-SubRegion2) and it is allowed at the bottom drilling below to the actual data points (which is the same as the bubble layer) in SAC.
• Creating filters on individual data points is not supported, hence why the option is disabled with the warning.

• Workaround: In the Linked Analysis, change the settings to either 'All widgets on the Page' or 'Only selected widgets' so 'Filter on Data Point Selection' can be enabled. This will trigger a Linked Analysis filter when the individual data point is selected.
