Data Labels for Maps

You need to able to add data labels to the maps (in power map, power view, and power BI Designer) such that you don't need to hover over the area to get the information. Ideally you could add the data by your location identifier or even customize it.

Hard time seeing how this is useful without data labels of some sort

Completed in Jan - over 6 month ago - and this is nowehere to be found - very frustrating and as someone mentioned quite useless, especially if you have a lot of data points - hoevering over each and everyone just for the values is not feasible!

Adding text labels is an imperative for ease of interpretation. I put results into a MAP of the US where results are by state. In addition to a layered color and bar graph I'd like a permanent percent change somewhere in the state rendered as a number. Today I paste the map into word and then paste a pic of the labels I set up in excel to word to get a rendered map with all the information need for interpretation. 😞

I agree with Rafal because we cannot visually see the value in this data without having to hover over it. Therefore without this function, interpreting large amounts of data in the U.S.A. with many accounts all over makes it very unclear. Although, we have colors to categorize this by, there are only so many before it begins to repeat. PLEASE make data labels available above data points columns...

I'd rather use PowerBI for visualizations but without map labels (data points such as city names, numbers of employees/sales/whatever, I'm stuck using Tableau.

Is this completed? I can't see the functionality of adding a label (even an index number per bubble would be sufficient).

Why is it marked as completed when it has not been implemented?
