Data Labels on Maps

Hi,   Is it possible to have labels of the data on the maps, other than the tooltips? I'd like the labels to show all of them at the same time, same way as, let's say, when I set up the State label...

    brendaivett the only way I can think of to do this would be to have some Lat and Long coordinates for each State

     

    You can pick any in each state that plot well on the map you'll be using - see picture

    (you may do this in a separate table so you only do it once for each state)

     

    Then create your State Count COLUMN to use in the Location field

     

     

    State Count COLUMN = 'Table'[State]&" - "&CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Count]), ALLEXCEPT('Table', 'Table'[State]))

     

     

    You can look at this post but I don't think it can be applied in your case

    I was so looking forward to the ArcGIS Maps but we have even less flexibility there - for now.

    I hope they add labels and tooltips soon.

     

    Hope this helps! :smileyhappy:
