MapForums

I have several maps broken out by a certain territory comprising of counties. How can I find the population of that territory?

I have the same issue. I have created sales territories by 3 digit zip codes and need to have the poulation shown for each territory. Can anyone let me know if MapPoint 2009 offers this capability?

There's no easy way to do it, really. But it can be done.

Using the method QueryAllRecords, you can determine which counties (or zip3 areas) are contained in each of the territories in the territory dataset.

Once you know the sub-geographies in the given territory, you can query and aggregate the populations (or other demographic data) for each sub-geography.

You could also hover the mouse over each sub-geography in a territory and manually add up a demographic from the displayed text.

I've attached a document which illustrates the latter procedure.
