UK Postal Sector filled/shaded map
Hi, I want to produce thematic/filled/shaded maps at Postal Sector level. Postal Sector is the first part of the Postcode + the 1st character of the 2nd part of the postcode. SW20 8RL is the postcode...

Hi Dale, the data is the basis for the UK Postal Geography. Basically, the Postal Sector level is the 3rd level down the hierarchy.
I'll use the actual Postcode I mentioned as an example SW20 8RL - There are ~2m Postcodes in the UK - This is actually in SW London.
It starts with Postcode Area - SW - There are ~120 Postcode Areas
Then Postcode District - SW20 - There are ~ 2500 Postcode Districts
Then Postcode Sector - SW20 8 - There are ~9,000 Postcode Sectors
So, what I want to do is plot maps using the Postcode Sector level.
If anyone know if this is possible, I would be grateful.
FYI... it can be done in Tableau!
Regards
Andrew
