Map visual - legend based on two columns

Hi,

 

I have the below data

 

POSTCODEPop_MPop_FTotal_Pop
2081121527
2083123101224
2094423399822
2104161430

 

Is it possible to create a map visualization with size as Total_pop and legend as a pie chart of Pop_M and Pop_F?

 

If so how?

 

Thanks

Sam

@Anonymous I will unpivot the data and then it will work

 

- transform data

- remove Tot_POP Column
- select post code column 
- right-click, unpivot other columns it will add two columns, attribute, and value, rename these as per your requirement
- close and apply

To visualize,
- use attribute on the legend
- values on size

I don't think this is possible with the underlying dataset as postcode column is unique values - I tried and couldn't seem to get it to work.
