    Our business would like to use heat maps to track customer concentration via MSA (versus area code or zip code). Would love to see some sort of MSA integration into the mapping functionality of Power BI

    We need to figure out our rep and sales concentration in various MSAs and it doesn't seem that we can map it in Power BI. Hoping Microsoft addresses this soon.

    Integrating this functionality would help Power BI carve out a niche within government and business intelligence circles

    yeah this is as basic as being able to right click or save a file. really annoying that microsoft leaves out critical functionality in their software like this

    This is something really basic that I agree should be in there. As a longstanding Tableau user, the basic recognition of regional FIPS codes should be automatic.

    NECTAs (New England City and Town Areas) would also be helpful.
