Using geocode in a map based on a view where two datasets are joined

Question

Hi,
I'd like to create a map based on a view in which two datasets are joined, where one of the datasets has a geocode column.
Unfortunately this is not working... It seems that a custom view where two datasets are joined together where one of them has a geocode column makes the geocode column invisible for the map component.
The following cases do work but we like to combine them so that we can combine different datasets in Studio without using the Integrator:
- I can create a custom view in which we join two datasets > the view can be used as a source for different component but not the map component (it seems that the geocode column is not found)
- I can create a custom view with a geocode column in it and that one can be used as a source for a map
What I'd like to show is that it is possbile to have one datasets coming from a source system and that it is easy to combine an additional excel sheet with geo-information and maybe another excel sheet with different measures. This should be possible since you can join different datasets together in a custom view.
Thanks in advance,
Richard

Answer 1

Oh sorry, we have two base views and one custom view:
base view TRIS_Omzet which gets it data from an OBI server and has data like revenue, customer, time, etc.
base view Endeca_Klanten which gets it data from an excel sheet, this view contains the name of the customer and the geocode of the customer's location
We created one custom view (Omzet_Geo) where the two base queries are joined together using the following query:
DEFINE V1 AS SELECT
"Endeca_Klanten.Klanten" AS Klant,
"Endeca_Klanten.Coordinaten" AS Coordinaten
from Endeca_Klanten;
DEFINE V2 AS SELECT
"TRIS_Omzet.Naam_Consultant" AS Naam_consultant,
"TRIS_Omzet.Jaar" AS Jaar,
"TRIS_Omzet.Jaar_week" AS Jaar_week,
"TRIS_Omzet.Actual" AS Actual,
"TRIS_Omzet.Omzet" AS Omzet,
"TRIS_Omzet.Partij" AS Partij,
"TRIS_Omzet.Uren" AS Uren
FROM TRIS_Omzet
DEFINE Omzet_Geo AS SELECT
V1.Klant AS Klant,
V1.Coordinaten AS Coordinaten,
V2.Naam_consultant AS Naam_consultant,
V2.Jaar AS Jaar,
V2.Jaar_week AS Jaar_week,
sum(V2.Actual) AS Actual,
sum(V2.Omzet) AS Omzet,
V2.Partij AS Partij,
sum(V2.Uren) AS Uren
from V1
right join V2
on (V1.Klant=V2.Partij)
group by Klant, Coordinaten, Naam_consultant,Jaar,Jaar_week,Partij
Our view definition in the GUI looks like the following, as shown in the screenshots the datatype of the coordinated column is a Geo column both in the base view and the custom view. However the view still can't be selected to be used as a source for the map component.
The two base views:
The custom view:
