Plotly express shows Invalid property for latitude for choropleth map plot for python

Question

I am using these dataset " dataset tempat perlancongan Malaysia.csv". In that I'm Passing the latitude and longitude for plotting the plot plot for spatial coordinate vs numerical feature.

error I got =

Value Error: Invalid property specified for object of type plotly.graph_objs.Choropleth: 'lat'

Answer 1

• I don't speak Malay so can't fully find data set you partially reference. Have used this one pelancongan data
• it's appears you have not understood what a choropleth is. A choropleth uses polygons as the geometry, not points. From fact you are trying to pass lat and the data I have found provided latitude and longitude your data supports a scatter not a choropleth

import requests, io
import plotly.express as px

df = pd.read_csv(

px.scatter_geo(df, lat="LATITUDE", lon="LONGITUDE", hover_data=["NAMA"]).update_layout(
    geo_scope="asia", geo_fitbounds="locations"
)

px.scatter_mapbox(
    df,
    lat="LATITUDE",
    lon="LONGITUDE",
    hover_data=["NAMA"],
