Zip codes from database do not map
Hi,
We have several databases with US zip codes and none of these map in power BI. However, if I export the data from the database into an excel file and put it in a table, then the zip codes ...
Thank you for the reply,
How do I ensure this? I already have the 5 digit zip codes set to 'Text' data type and "Postal Code" under the modeling tab...is there something else that I should be doing? The odd part is that only a handful of zip codes in the Northeastern US map but nothing else in the entire US....This is something that is crucial.
Thank you,
Curious if you were able to resolve your issue. I'm having the exact same problem.
The zip codes might also exist in other coutries. Have you tried combining the zip code with country code like
DE-35260 (where DE is the ISO country code for Germany)?
Best regards (from Germany) :-)

For US zip codes, whole number works for plotting with the appropriate data category.
