Hi everyone,
I'm newish to BI and am trying to assign a tool tip to only 2 columns in a Matrix, what I would like is to have one tooltip when hovering over a cell in the "Criteria" column, no tooltip on "Units", "ActVal", "ForVal" and then a different tooltip assigned to "Forecast Accuracy"
I've managed to get 2 different tooltips applied but when I set one up for the Criteria column, it doesn't work. That tooltip works when I hover over the next 3 columns and then the 2nd tooltip populates on the last column correctly.
Is it possible to assign a tooltip to the "Row" data in the Matrix, or even to have columns within the matrix that don't have a tooltip?
Are you saying I need a different tooltip page for each of the 32 values in the Criteria column in order for the description to show up correctly?
Looks like it. Time to rethink your requirements, maybe.
You already found the solution. The filter value defines which tooltip will show when
Keep going and create more tooltip pages for specific "columns"
What you cannot do is suppress the default tooltip. I think.
