Layer Map

Hi,  I'm trying to create a map with sales data by multiple levels for a US map..  So far I have identified 3 digit zip codes and the distribution center that they link to on a filled map.  
Id like to add a bubble for the distribution center location and use a heat map to identify sales volume is there a way to do this?

Hi @jimrosser ,

To add a bubble for each distribution center location on your map, you can utilize a Point Layer. Here's a concise action plan:

  1. Add a Point Layer: On the report design surface, select your map to display the Map pane. On the toolbar, select Add Layer, then choose Add Point Layer from the dropdown list. This layer will allow you to add points representing your distribution centers.

  2. Configure the Point Layer: Use the spatial data (latitude and longitude) for your distribution centers to plot them on the map. If your distribution centers are identified by a specific attribute (e.g., a unique ID), ensure this is included in your dataset.

Thank you for your help.  I'm not able to see any way to put in a layer or finding the wizard.  Is it possible this is turned off on my version of Power BI?
