Mapping Data Restrictions

[blocke]

Hi all,

Making a heat map with zip codes from the entire US. Looking for any work arounds to help me out as I have much more than 4000 zip codes. I would prefer not having to make multiple maps for different regions of the country. Is there anyway to fill out areas such as 3 digit zips? For most of my data the zip code is not imperative just the only way to link revenue to a certain area. I need to fill the entire map but when I put in a zip code or simply put the city name, only a small portion of the entire area is displayed (for example, the Dallas branch that the revenue is linked to covers a much greater area than just the displayed area when the city name is Dallas).

Thanks!

@blocke,

Do you use heatmap custom visual? Do you set data category for your field in Power BI Desktop?

Hi Lydia,

Because my data is not centralized to just one city but rather a city and the surrounding area, I am actaully using the ESRI mapping system then using revenue in the color saturation field. The heat map visual was a poor display of how much area one branch actually covers.
