Thank you so much! I downloaded a GeoJson file, followed the steps and I was able to plot the regions as a map in Tableau.

Very helpful tutorial, thank you.

However, under Connect, my version of Tableau (10.1.4) only shows Excel, Text file, JSON file, Statistial file, and More... to choose from. What can I do to include Spatial file as an option?

Thanks!

I closely followed Kent Marten's steps for connecting to the Census Bureau files, as demonstrated in this video "Tableau 10 2 Making Tableau Work for You". The inner join that Kent demonstrates in the video is not working. I don't have any idea why, but it only shows null values or "0" rows. He may be using a Mac for all I know, but his demonstration is producing errors in our PC environment. 1. A full inner join of the shape file with the data file produces zero rows; 2. The Left join produces null values in the the shape file columns; 3. The Right Join produces nulls in the Geoid column found in the data file; 4, A full outer join produces nulls in both. What am I missing?

What can I do if after adding the Excel file, it doesn't give me the option to join them?

This is a 7 years ago video. Has nothing new come up yet? Like Tableau improving their geographical databases because I can see they have not improve that much on the Kenyan map which is subdivided into counties.

Really need to have England, Scotland and Wales on country level. England is not an option on any level.

You start the video by making a big mistake. You cannot work with files in Tableau Public. It's only for saving to the internet and then you can reload the old work from the internet. Redo the video.

Edit:

Wait, it's possible to download and open these files? This is insane. I have used this software for such a long time without noticing this.
