Have you set the data categorization to zip code? https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/transform-model/desktop-data-categorization

Hi @Anonymous , 

What is your current heat map? Did you try to put them in Location field? If possible, could you please inform me your current map type and your sample? Then I will try to test this in my environment.

Best Regards,
Zoe Zhi
