Report Tooltip scroll Issue

Hi All,

I have created a tooltip page and used the report tooltip in the dashboard . The problem is, when there are more rows in the tooltip, it is showing a scroll bar. But I am not able to select the tooltip and scroll down to see all the values from the table. As I tried to increase the height of the tooltip, but even then there are a lot of rows that are not listed in the tooltip when looking from the table.

 

Any suggestions to select a tooltip scrollbar??

    Still an issue. My scenario is a table with a column that has a lot of text.
    Don't want to display all of it as it makes the rows too deep reducing the no. of rows displayed. So an abbreviated version is in the table and I want the tooltip to show all the information. 
    Ideally I'd like to restrict the report tooltip to only a single column, but I can live with that.
    But having a tooltip where I can't see all the information is ridiculous. It shows the vertical scroll bar, but I can't get there.

    Since you want to show a lot of information, I would recommend you to implement a drill-through. So that you will have a separate page with full information.

      It is the issue of the tooltip, we cannot use drill through.

       

      When I hover over the line chart then I have used the Report Tooltip page to show the Tooltip. So please suggest the another solution to scroll down the tooltip.

       

      Thanks

        Hi Anonymous - I was suggesting to use drill-through instead of Report page tooltip. We can't scroll down the report page tooltip. If you increase the height of tooltip page, it may cover your existing page. You can decide based on the preference-

        1. increasing the size of tooltip page
        2. implement drill-through.
  • Anonymous , you have size/height option on the report tooltip page. You can make it bigger

        hi  Anonymous 

        To my knowledge, you could not scroll the visual in the page tooltip in power bi for now.

        There are two workaround for you refer to:

        1. Don't set page size for page tooltip is "Tooltip", and increase the height of the that visual to make it could show all the value.

        2. Use drill through function instead of page tooltip.

  • Hi,

     

    I'm also having the same issue with not being able to freeze the tooltip screen to view or scroll data in the tooltip where resizing or drilling through is not applicable. A humble suggestion for Anonymous is to enable the functionality to use a tooltip to visualize data with a scrolling ability and freezing ability to make this platform more user-friendly.

  • Hi All,

    I’ve found a way to scroll the tooltip. To scroll it, first click on the value for which you want to see the tooltip. Then hover over the value to display the tooltip, press the spacebar, and try to access the tooltip. This will allow you to click on the tooltip as well as scroll it.
     
    Like it if it works.
