    I'm not sure whether it is possible or not, but it kind of goes against the idea of filled map. It's not suppose to be destinations, it's suppose to be larger areas. So plotting an entire address doesn't really make sense.

It seems you already researched the subject pretty thoroughly. You can't have filled map and bubble map at the same visual. 

 

I'm not sure what you mean by the 4th level, could you explain more thoroughly?

 

Best,

Martin

    Dear Martin,

     

    Thanks for the quick reply, I am working on filled map and facing some strange problem. Please see "Mydata.png" and "MyMap.png" enclosed herewith for clarification:

     

    Even though I have the state data in the format of "State, Country Code". The filled map is marking "Sri Lanka" states in "Ireland" (left hand top corner)

     

    You can see I am trying to map the 4th entity as "Zip code 2"  ==> This is not working.

     

     

    Thanks,

    Prasanna V.

      This approach has worked for me before:

       

      Column = Postalcode&" "&Country

       

      or

       

      Column = Postalcode&" "&Countrycode

       

      Try this and get back to me.
