Data Labels on Maps
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:
Hi brendaivett currently only what's in the Location field of a Map can be diplayed at all times!
And unfortunately only a Column can be placed there!
You can concatenate several Columns into 1 field which you can then easily display at all times by placing in the Location field!
So it really depends on what you have in the tooltips?
You may have to convert some Measures into Columns which may or may not be feasible in your case.
Can you give some more details of what you have in mind or some sample data and the expected result.
Also anyone else reading this post - please Vote for either one of these Ideas I've created for MAPs
1) Display another visualization in the Map Labels & Show/Hide Buttons
2) Aerial (Satellite Photo) MAP Background
