Heatmaps in Alteryx

[prravich]

Hi ,

I have two data sets , first is customer locations ( say 100 records from 5 zip codes) and second is store locations ( say three stores) . I have two asks that I am trying to accomplish. Can someone help me with the approach?

1. Shade the zipcodes of customers having maximum visits ( heat map)

2. Mark points on the heatmap with store location ( 3 dots on the heat map )

I would like to know which regions my customers are arriving from and where my stores are located. Can someone tell me if its possible in alteryx or do I need to use Tableau for this?

Thanks

Hi @prravich,

Thanks for your question! Yes, this is possible with Alteryx. 

Your use case is typically what we call a thematic map. You can see the difference described here.

To make a thematic map, follow the instructions here.

If you have any additional questions, I'd be happy to help!
