Zip to Fips SQL Cheat

Though there is option to have domo build a custom fips dataset for your instance and it may seem easy to do a seperate table for joining - it has arisen that sometimes joining does not provide all table rows to be assigned appropirate fips. Sometimes, conversely you are looking for specific counties or to bucket (numeric) fips in a particular way.  If either of those are applicable to your use case, hopefully the following sample will help. 

 

In case you need a quick zip to fips code, here is sample for use in SQL using Manhattan zips only.

Zip to Fip Source:  https://data.ny.gov/Government-Finance/New-York-State-ZIP-Codes-County-FIPS-Cross-Referen/juva-r6g2/data 

 

Use excel's downfill function to quickly create your cases (and remove spaces) before pasting into sql. 

 

If your zip code is not formatted in 5 digits you may need to run step before this case:

 

SELECT  *,

LEFT(zipcod, 5) as zipcode

FROM source_table

  • Great tips, thanks Lauren

    you could do

    select  *,  case when `zipcode` in (......) then '36061' end as fips from transform_data_1 

     

    Reduces the number of lines.
