Add data points to filled map

Hello All,

 

I have a simple filled map where I would like to include a handful of data points, in this case field offices. The states are shaded based on whether I am approved in that state (shown in green below). I've added the field office points manually using a graphics program so that you can see an example of what I am pursuing. I have searched the Power BI community board without success. I have also attemped to create this using R Visual, however it is beyond my working knowledge of R. I was able to plot the map and points, but I could not get the state shading to work at all. It seems like a simple task and I'm sure I'm overlooking an option through PBI.

 

Any help you can offer will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    geotech so I understood your question, you want to shade the State but at the same time you want to show a point where the acctual office is? Is this correct understanding?

      Hi parry2k, you are correct. There are essentially two sets of data being displayed (or desired to be displayed).

        Hi geotech ,

        After my research, I'm afraid it couldn't achieve in Power BI for now. Maybe you could try to generate a custom map visual,refer to this post:Filled regions and points on map. You can also come up with a new idea and add your comments there to make this feature coming sooner. Here is a similar idea, you can vote: Add customized points on Filled Map
