Tooltip
Hi,
I've looked up other questions for Tooltip - however I still do not suceed.
I have a shortname for every company. However, when hovering, the judicial name should be displayed.
Everytime I try to ad the name to quickmeasures directly I get a quickfilter - which I do not want.
If I create a Quickinfo-page and drop a Card there, the values for all companies are shown - not only the one I hover over. Regardless of whether I activate "keep filter" or not.
If I create a Quickinfo-page and drop a measure showing the selectedvalue it's empty - even if I did not only hover but selected a company!
What am I missing?
Hi Anonymous
From your screenshots, it seems you were adding a field in Drill-through fields well rather than Tooltips fields well. See the following image. The Red highlighted one is Tooltips fields well you need. The green one is for drill-through feature. In addition, you need to turn on Tooltip option in Format pane.
Please refer to the following documents about setting up tooltips.

Anonymous you have to select the visual and then you will see tooltip section, seems like you have clicked on the page not on the visual.

Solved - partly.
For Bar-Diagrams I have both fields (unfortunately both are labelled Quick-Info in German). When I drop the description in the second Quick-Info I get the filter. When I drop it into the first one it works.
But for Matrix I do not have the first Quick-Info-Field - only the "Filter"-one:
...and when I direct QuickInfo to a reporting-page it shows all the descriptions, not only the one for the company I hover over:
Thank you very much!
Hi Anonymous
Which version of Power BI Desktop are you using? I switch my Power BI Desktop application to German and it doesn't have two Quick-Info. The second is Drillthrough right there.

If you add the Long Name field to the tooltips does it not display for you?
You can even change the name in the tooltips field to be just 'Long Name' by double-clicking and changing the name.
Anonymous I think you should report this as an issue to MSFT. Looks like Drilldown should be called something different in the language you have selected. It is a bit confusing that drill down is also called Tooltip.
