Issue with filled map not showing correctly

I am trying to display individual postcodes (UK Format) against the 17 distictinct sectors that they are categorized against, so that the map displays all 17 sectors in deifferent colours.  When the map displays it only seems to be picking up  the sectors against partial postcodes, ie KY3 0, instead of the full postcode, ie KY3 0SY (This can be seen when hovering over it as per the 1st Pic.  I dont think this is a data issue as If I use the ordinary map it shows the individual postcodes correctly 2nd Pic.

 The dataset is from an excel spreadsheet and is basically a list of Postcodes against Sectors and all are categorized as Postal Code.  

Any help much appreciated.Postcode Sample.PNGPostcode Sample 2.PNG

Hi yes, the data is categorised correctly as Postal Code.  I think that the filled map may not be quite granular enough to plot at the required level of detail.

Have you changed the data category into "Postal Code"?
