# Example representation: Workbook with a geography map (Beta)

> Example Sigma code representation of a workbook with a geography map.

This documentation describes one or more public beta features that are in development. Beta features are subject to quick, iterative changes; therefore the current user experience in the Sigma service can differ from the information provided in this page.

This page should not be considered official published documentation until Sigma removes this notice and the beta flag on the corresponding feature(s) in the Sigma service. For the full beta feature disclaimer, see [Beta features](/docs/sigma-product-releases#beta-features).

This is an example representation of a workbook, retrieved using the [Get a workbook](/reference/get-workbook) endpoint with the query parameter `includeContents=true`. Representations like this one can be used to create a workbook from code using the [Create a workbook](/reference/create-workbook) endpoint. Each page in this example library includes the code representation of the workbook and step-by-step instructions to create it in the Sigma UI.

Consult this example and others in the [Workbook representation example library](/docs/workbook-representation-example-library) to:

* Troubleshoot the formatting of a particular feature in code representation
* Relate a feature from the Sigma UI to its representation in code
* Provide context to AI tools used to create workbooks from code

This example representation cannot be used as-is. All identifying details, such as IDs, names, and URLs, have been replaced with randomized ID values or generic substitutions. The format of these contents, like the length of ID values, is preserved for demonstrative purposes. However, this representation cannot be directly used without modification to the base URL, connection details, and more. For more information, see [Create and manage workbooks from code](/docs/manage-workbooks-as-code).

## System and user requirements

To complete the steps in this example, you must meet the user requirements listed below for creating the workbook in the UI and creating it from code.

The ability to create this workbook in the Sigma UI requires the following:

* You must be assigned an [account type](/docs/account-type-and-license-overview) with the **Create, edit, and publish workbooks** permission enabled.
* You must have access to a connection to a data platform.

The ability to create a workbook from code requires the following:

* You must be assigned an [account type](/docs/account-type-and-license-overview) with the **Create, edit, and publish workbooks** permission enabled.
* You must have developer credentials for the Sigma API. For more information, see [Get started with the Sigma REST API](/reference/get-started-sigma-api).

This example uses a table from the [Sigma Sample Connection](/docs/sigmas-sample-connection). Your organization might have disabled access to the Sigma sample connection. If so, you can contact an admin to enable it, or use a table from another connection to follow along with this example.

## Create the example workbook in the Sigma UI

This example shows a simple workbook with a geography map element.

To create this workbook in the Sigma UI:

1. Go to the **Home** page.

2. Select ![](https://sigma-docs-screenshots.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Icons/button-add.svg) **Create new** > **Workbook**.

   A new workbook opens.

3. From the **Add element** bar, select **Data** > **Table**.

4. In the **Select source** modal, search for the `PLUGS_ELECTRONICS_HANDS_ON_LAB_DATA` from `EXAMPLES.PLUGS_ELECTRONICS` schema.

5. Select the table to add it to the workbook.

   The table appears in the workbook.

6. Add a calculated column to the table titled *Geography*, and enter the following formula:

```
Geography("POINT(" & Text([Store Longitude]) & " " & Text([Store Latitude]) & ")")
```

7. Select ![](https://sigma-docs-screenshots.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Icons/add-dependent.svg) **Add child element** > **Chart**.

   A new bar chart element appears on the workbook canvas.

8. In the editor panel, select **Properties** and configure the chart with the following settings:

   | Option         | Setting             |
   | :------------- | :------------------ |
   | **Chart type** | **Map - Geography** |
   | **Geography**  | *Geography*         |

9. In the document header, select **Save as**.

10. Enter a name for the workbook, such as `geography-map`.

11. Select **Save**.

## Get a code representation of this workbook
