Advocate ISectors on a UK Map
I have been tasked with creating a UK Map visual which shows 8 sectors split across the UK area to show revenue in each area. Can you suggest a way we can create this? I have customer post code data to hand and revenue, so I want to be able to show the total on the UK Map visual. I have looked at the Shape Map but I cannot see how to split it across the sectors,
I think this is what are you looking for: Regions (December 2021) EN BGC | Regions (December 2021) EN BGC | Open Geography Portal (statistics.gov.uk)
You have the option to download the map in various formats (example: SHP or even GeoJSON). If you have trouble connecting this to the official visual (Shape Map), I suggest you take a look at Icon Map visual. It expands the possibilites of the default map visuals in so many way I can't even describeI have been able to find a GeoJSON map file for postal code areas on the UK and it is all working well. I will be accumulating the values in each to an overall region report and it should now work for the presentation I have. Much appreciated.

pay_2019 , you need json of shapes then you can create it in shape map

I tried using the Shape Maps but it only provides a split on the UK Map by country and not be region.
Regions will be North West, North East, South West, Midlands, etc.
No UK maps listed on the link for JSON of shapes?
Thanks
Hi pay_2019,
I think you can add a table to map postcodes and regions, then you can link this to the raw table to design a map visual with the new table region and raw table values.
