Create US Map with state name/code

I have a table with state names and state codes. I am creating US Map based on that table by checking statename column. But I can't get states codes shown on the map. Any aidea how to do that?

 

Thanks

@Markzolotoy Yes, it is free and included in Power BI Desktop. But you get additional features if you have an ArcGIS license.

Here are the differences between free (standard) and licensed user:

@djurecicK2 I dont see that widget:

@djurecicK2 I have found it. Is there a way to show just the US map?

Hi @Markzolotoy ,

 Are you trying to put a state code label on each state? The only way I know how to do that is with the ArcGIS visual.

I am interested to know if anyone else has another way to do this. 

 

Seems like the best you can get with the standard map visual is something like this which imo is not great
