Adding a field to a matrix tooltip

Hi,

I would like to add a column to a matrix tooltip and i have used a table visual to do this and it works fine however i don't need the table header in the tooltip and would prefer to use a card visual to simply show the column value in the tooltip. However when i try this, nothing shows and i get a blank cell. The card visual also disappears from my report page tooltip.

Can anyone please advise if using the card visual can be used to show the column name in a tooltip or does it have to be a table ?

thanks

Scott

    Hey, I'm not sure I fully understand the issue. Could you upload a PBIX file?

    What exactly do you mean by "The card visual also disappears from my report page tooltip"? Do you mean that the Card visual itself disappears, leaving the tooltip page empty?

    Also, when you use a Table visual in the tooltip, how many values are displayed? Keep in mind that a Card visual can only display a single value.

    Thanks for your response. When i set up a report page tooltip and insert the card and then the column, upon leaving that page, both the card and the column disappear. I have six different sets of tooltip wording that i need to display depending on the matrix cell so i don't think the card is an option. I have also tried putting a measure in the card as follows : Measure = SELECTEDVALUE ([tooltip wording], "") however this does not work either.
