I am trying to create a report with a Map . Something similar to the Sales By Region example supplied . Except my data has a zipcode instead of state .
How do I use the zip code to display my points on the map .
Setting the geoLocationMapGroup to the zipcode field does not seem to do it .
Can you please help.

Hi Helen,
If you are using the Map Wizard, it should be enough just to drag the ZipCode field to the Categories (location) box on the Arrange map fields page. This will create a GeoLocationGroup with grouping on Fields.ZipCode and pass the grouping expression to the location provider you choose. In case the location provider cannot determine the location by the supplied zip code, you can add an additional information in the grouping expression like, for example, a country name, as shown below:
='USA,'+Fields.ZipCode
Please take a look at the attached report which shows how a simple map report using a ZipCode field can be done. Please note that you should set your location provider key in the ClientToken field to make it work.
If you have further questions please let us know.
