Hi, Sorry, i could have explained it with below pic. What im looking for is, i have this map chart and i woudl like to add the data points on the states. For example, california "90". Florida "50" etc. The below chart is a custom visual ArcGIS. But I'm fine with any other map visual which allows the label display functionality.
