zip code heat map?

Hello friends,

I've been asked to make a heat code map for ticket buyer zip codes. But I don't have ANY idea how to start with that.

Anyone able to throw out some helpful hints?

Thanks so much,

  • I've used scatter map for board reports and there are quite a few forum posts on it from a few years ago on getting it "right". Filter order is key (or was). I usually do a city scale one and then something at a country level.

    There are a few design settings to fiddle with but the thing that took a while for me was the levels. As you’ll see there will be lots of post codes with a few tickets and few with a huge amount. You don't want the former to down or the latter. I would look at setting colours in conditional ranges (exponential?) to get the data vis right.

    If it's a one off report then you could export a pivot table of data and use excel map chart.
