Visual Analytics supports identifying country locations by using a two-character code based on the Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) or a two-letter code (alpha-2) or a three-letter code (alpha-3) country codes on the International Standards Organization (ISO). 
By default, when Visual Analytics finds a country value that is 2 characters in length, it attempts to match the value using ISO alpha-2 country codes. If your dataset contains FIPS codes, you should change the 2-char code selection of Country geographic role to FIPS.

Sometimes, Visual Analytics cannot recognize locations in your geographical data and displays them as unrecognized or ambiguous. The following table contains the description for unrecognized and ambiguous locations. 
 

LocationDescription
Unrecognized

Visual Analytics does not recognize state or city names when:

  • State or city names are different than the officially recognized names. When this happens, you can correct your source dataset.
  • Incorrect combination of country, state, or city in the dataset. For example, United Kingdom as the country and San Francisco as the city in United Kingdom.
Ambiguous

Visual Analytics finds ambiguity in state or city names when your geographical data contains:

  • Multiple occurrences of state or city name across the world. 

  • Multiple occurrences of state or city name for the plotted country.


For example, Sydney is present in Australia and Canada. When Visual Analytics plots cities, it considers Sydney ambiguous if a country or a state is not specified.
 
See, Resolve Ambiguous Locations.
