Is it possible to add the functionality of displaying labels (value, location,etc) on the Shape Map visual (in preview as of June 2016)?

The visual does currently display a tooltip for the location.

RE: Shape Map

After 8 years of the originally proposed idea, we still couldn't get the Shape Map with the label. ArcGIS already from ArcMap 10.4 evolved into ArcGIS Pro 3.3.

RE: Shape Map

The shape map visual should be able to show labels for the fields' values. Excel map can do this without any problem. Power BI can do better.

RE: Shape Map

Kind of crazy that in 2023 the shape map still has no option for some type of label. Even as an interactive map, without the option to overlay the map over a real map with names etc makes it difficult to justify it's use. Really disappointing.

RE: Shape Map

Agree with below comments. Microsoft you should feel utterly embarrassed by the lack of data labels for the Custom Shape Map visual. Makes people want to give up on Power BI completely for mapping.

RE: Shape Map

Useless visual without labels feature.

RE: Shape Map

I would consider this a core feature of this visual which is currently lacking. The lack of this feature is causing issues as charts are potentially not accessible to those with disabilities, as well as being generally less intuitive to use than they otherwise could be.
