Hi,

 

I was working on plotting  zipcodes in tableau map. I am using shape file (attached) of US zip codes to match (join) with my data and plot the zips. There are some zip codes that are not present in the shape file which I understand don't have any related shapes.

 

One option for me is to exclude those unmatched zips while plotting the data. But I don't want to remove any record/ info from the map.

 

Is there are way to plot all the zip codes (including the ones that are not present in the shape file)? Please advise for a solution.

 

also i have attached the unmatched plot  zipcodes of Snap short

 

Here is the shapes file attached which I'm working with...

 

thanks

    Hi Srinu,

     

    I would advise padding out the data which includes ALL zipcodes. You can leave the rest of the columns empty, but you just need the zipcode to exist.

     

    Thanks,
