US State Map - vary color by a dimension?

EChampagne

We're using the US state map to look at our staff by zip codes. Is there a way to have all staff on one map with each department as a different color?

DavidChurchman

Yes, but…

Are all staff that work in a department in the same State? If not, then you'd need a different card type. I'd say the best card type for this level of detail is the lat/long map, but for that you'll need to get the lat/longs instead of the zip codes (I'm sure there are tables you can join to your zips to get lat/longs).

Also, something weird about the lat/long maps are that you can apply color rules, but they don't show up in the "Chart Properties" panel. You have to access them through the color rules menu up top

I'm not sure if you can do it with one of the existing chart types. But you could do it with a blank brick.

In this example, I'm cheating and using a translation of longitude and latitude to plot the zip codes. To do it properly, you would need to append your data with long, lat or find a conversion method to plot them by address. I was shortcutting it to create an output example.

To see this work on your own instance, go to AppStore, find blank brick and create on new dashboard. Import the sample dataset. Then insert the code below into Javascript, html, and css. This method will plot around the world. So if you have staff in other states or countries, they can plot as well. And you can zoom in to see the streets. One problem though…I am summarizing. I'm not exactly plotting to the address. So if you want to zoom in with accuracy, you have to solve that plot by address issue.

Sample data loaded as "staff sample". Set as dataset0 (also set as 1 and 2).

I would look into the custom charts option that is available. Here is a video about it as well as some KB articles:
