Data Labels in Azure Map

Hi Donerandparmo1​,

I think the easiest option here is actually to use a Scatter chart rather than trying to force the labels through Azure Maps.

Since your projects have their own exact latitude/longitude, you don't really need Power BI to identify them as geographical locations. You can use the coordinates directly and use the project name as the label.

For example:

X-axis = Longitude
Y-axis = Latitude
Details = Project Name
Data labels = Project Name

That should let you position each project using its exact coordinates and display something like "Construction Pack 1" next to the point.

If you need the actual UK map as the background, then Azure Maps is still useful, but the standard Azure Maps visual has fairly limited control over custom labels for individual points. There isn't a straightforward setting to replace the coordinate/location text with a column containing your project names.

Another option would be Deneb if you need more control over exactly where and how the project names are displayed, although that would require a little more setup.

So if the requirement is simply to show the project name beside each precisely located point, I'd try the Scatter chart first. If the map background is important, then I'd investigate Azure Maps/Deneb rather than changing the underlying latitude/longitude data.
