Hi Andrew,

In addition to the boundary attribute that contains the formula, you’ll need another attribute for the names of the states. Let’s say you called that attribute state_name. Then your formula for the boundary would be:

LookupBoundary(US_state_boundaries, state_name)

Then enter the names (or abbreviations) of states in the cells in the state_name attribute column of the table.

If you already have a map open, you may need to close it and open another one after you’ve got your attributes defined. (I’m working on a fix for this right now!)
