Plotting with ZIP3 boundary

Dear PowerBI Community,

 

My data set requires me to plot by the first 3 digit of the US Zipcode.

Is there a way to plot it by the Zip3 boundary?

 

Thanks

  • Hi FrugalEconomist,

     

    If I understand you correctly, you should be able to use the formula below to add a new calculate column into your table to get the first 3 digit of the US Zipcode, then plot with the new created calculated column on the report.

     

    First3Zip = LEFT ( Geo[Zip], 3 )

    In addition, here is a similar thread for your reference.:smileyhappy: 

     

    Regards
