Hi Anonymous ,

By my test, we can't realize it directly, here's my workaroud:

1.We can put Count of plows in the Bubble size, then we will see the difference of different number of plows in the same location. When we hover on the bubble, it also can show the number.

2.Use the custom visual "Cluster Map", which can display the number directly but it's more of a visual than a map.

Best regards,

    Thank you, that makes sense. I am still confused on how would I implement a count of the number of plows at a location based on the sheet I attatched above. Would I have to make a new column/measurement for that and for each location/machine type?

    Alternatively, is there a way to just make each type a different size? like plows are size 1, blowers are size 2 etc?
