US map with three data sets

I need to recreate a map that shows:

1. Number of employees per state

2. State performance. I have a list of each state's performance: 1 for high, 2 for medium, and 3 for low. 

 

My predecessor created a map that shows each state as either green, orange, or red for their performance, and the bubble for each state shows the number of employees. 

 

How can I recreate this in BI?

Hi @Klenmacnana ,

 

According to your description, you can create a filled map or a shape map.

Adjust the status color in the [Format your visual] pane.

Hi Neeko, thank you for your reply! Is there a way to color the shapes themselves instead of the bubble? So, instead of the bubble of California being green, I want the entire state of California be green.

Hi @Klenmacnana ,

 

According to your description, here are my steps you can follow as a solution.

1.Ensure you have a dataset that includes the following columns:
- State names (e.g., "California," "Texas," etc.)
- Number of employees per state
- State performance (high, medium, or low)
If you don't have latitude and longitude coordinates for each state, Power BI can automatically geo-code state names to create the map.

2. We can create a map visual.
