Can't input Longtitude or Latitude in "Icon Maps"

I can't input my Longtitude/Latitude Value in "Icon Maps" visualisation. They are both formatted as the correct Long/Lat. I just can't drag the value in the box.

Hi, 

I have figured out what the problem was. I have a time intelligence calculated table. Tabular editor made it so i couldn't summarize. When i remove the table it works. Is there any way i can keep my Time intelligence table and make the icon map work?

Kind Regards

Hi arno946,

 

I am having the same issue as you. Where you able to use the icon map with the time intelligence from tabular editor?

 

Best regards

@arno946 I have you have already convrted your lat/long data in data category as shown below. After this you will get to see globe/location icon against these fields in the field list on the right side of the screen.
