We all know that we can create some pretty cool maps in Tableau using fields like City, State and ZIP Code; however, Tableau cannot natively map street addresses. In order to plot specific addresses, we’ll need to use latitude and longitude coordinates.
Does Tableau recognize address?
If you have locations that Tableau can’t map, such as street addresses, you can custom geocode those locations. Custom geocoding means that you assign latitude and longitude coordinates to your locations so Tableau can plot them accurately.
Can Tableau recognize city names?
Tableau recognizes a lot of common geographic data, such as state and city names. When Tableau recognizes this type of data, it automatically assigns fields appropriate geographic roles, so they become geographic fields.
