Color Formatting Conditions

Hi All,

I’m looking to apply different color-coding rules to a geo map in Looker Studio Pro, but I don’t see any conditional formatting options for geo fields. Is this feature supported?

Thank You in Advance

Hey,

Hope you’re keeping well.

Conditional or rule-based color formatting is not currently supported for Geo Maps in Looker Studio Pro. The Geo Map visualization automatically applies a gradient scale based on the selected metric’s numeric range, as described in the Geo map reference documentation. You can adjust the color range and style under the Style tab, but the platform does not yet provide per-condition or threshold-based color rules for geographic dimensions.

To approximate conditional coloring, create a calculated field that buckets values into discrete categories (for example, “Low”, “Medium”, “High”) using CASE expressions, then use that field for the Color dimension instead of the metric. This approach lets each category map to a distinct color range, giving you more control over how regions appear while staying within the supported feature set.

Thanks and regards,
Taz
