Is there any Map tool in PowerBi that lets you add labels?

[Anonymous]

I looked at both filled map and Arc GIS, saw no way to add labels and multiple threads on here saying it is not possible. Is there any add on for Power BI that lets you add labels on a map for your data points?

Hi sburt

Here is an example showing a Calculated Column displaying data on the map.

Firstly create your column : 

_Column Show On Map = Sheet1[State]& " - " & "Country is" & Sheet1[Country]

 Next within Format, turn on Category labels:

Finally add the latitude and longitude as shown and place your _Column in the Location Field:

Final Result

You could place anything within the calculated column....

_Column Show On Map 2 = Sheet1[State]& " - " & "Another Result: " & CALCULATE(COUNT(Sheet1[State]), ALLEXCEPT(Sheet1, 'Sample'[State]))

 Hope this helps.

@Anonymousdid you looked at tool tips, not sure if that will meet you requirement.

Tool tip allows for mouse over data viewing. I am looking for constant persistent data labels so I can screenshot or export the map to powerpoint

Hi @Anonymous,

I've been able to do this with the standard Map visual, but with pie charts, so I'm sure it's possible with basic data labels.

Afraid to say there is anything available, didn't see this in the past. Let's if someone else can chime in and share their thoughts.
