Add help tooltips to reports
Miguel Myers (spelling?) has a hot tip for this in his webinar on building beautiful power bi reports...
basically he uses a donut chart overlaying a text box with a ? in it to create a little help widget. then he creates a table of help texts and adds it to the legend for that donut chart. then he filters the column to only show the help he wants..
I use this technique and it works OK but its not perfect and I'd be interested to hear if anyone has a better way to show dynamic help.
one other way I have been thinking about is to use a measure with "HASONEVALUE" which shows generic" about this dashboard" then switches to "help text" when a filter is selected

Thanks dearwatson a diffrent way could be to use this HTML custome Visual, then put some html code instead of the comment, somthing like:
<a href="" title="tooltip text ..."><h1 style="color:white;">?</h1></a>Hi@ymouman,
This worked as charm, however, when i click it the question mark or text will disapper.. is there any work around for this?
thanks in advance:)

freswood Have you tried the MAO software custom visual for dynamic tooltips? It's excellent and does this perfectly well. Tom
Thanks dearwatson that worked perfectly! It's a little clumsy to use so hopefully they add custom tooltips as a feature.
