    Hi, Anonymous 

    In my opinion, it is possible, if one more table is added into the data model, for instance, something like below.

     

     

    Then you can create a link between the first-three-digit of phone numbers and state names.

    Hi,

    Thank you for your feedback.

    It is possible, if you can find the information on the website that tells about those.

    If your purpose is to show city level, for instance, you can try to search for the information about how is USA City Names and Phone numbers are related. Then, Power BI automatically grabs the city names to display on the map visualization. If you need to visualize more accurately by using longitude and latitude, you need to find all information that tells about Cityname - longitude/latitude, and pull the information into Power BI desktop.

     

    In this way, you can describe map visualization by using phone numbers.

     

    Thank you.
