Good Afternoon
I am trying to measure Sales Effectiveness in a given US State (using Zip Codes) by comparing the number of Quotes to the number of Orders in the given Zip Codes; my Data Set is an Excel file broken out into 3 columns (Zip Code, Orders, Quotes). When I pull the Data into a Filled Map the results are not exactly as I would like them.
(I will try to "copy & paste" screen shots into this Text Box, but after 3 attempts I have not been able to.....)
In the first example, I have the Zip Codes in the Location field, and Quotes in the Legend field. As you can (or cannot) see on the Legend for the below image, I have defined the Colors for the number of Quotes in the Top Left - but all of the Zip Codes are colored with the same color. In addtion, if you hover over each Zip Code the Flag states each Zip Code has 0 quotes - regardless of what my Data Set says.

In the second example, I have Zip Codes in the Location field, Orders in the Legend field, and Quotes in the Color Saturation field. Here again I have color coded the Legend to represent the number of Orders in a given Zip Code - and this time it works. One of the 2 problems with this example is the Color Saturation for the number of Quotes does not change. If a Zip Code has 0 Quotes or if it has 20 Quotes - the Saturation level is the same.
The 2nd issue I have with this example is that for certain Zip Codes the Filled Map is showing incorrect data. When certain Zip Codes are next to each other, it will only show 1 Zip Code (with correct data called out in the Flag) but place it where the other Zip Code should be.

There is a plan to add another layer to this report (Opportunities in a given Zip Code), but I do not want to tackle that until I resolve the above.
Thank you
