Add help tooltips to reports
Hi there, I've created a report that contains several graphs, and I'm hoping to add some sort of help/documentation to the report. Ideally I'd like a textbox to be displayed when the user hovers ...
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
