Add text to a tooltip with a condition
Hi,
I have a report with multiple pages, all showing indicatiors of health. The indicators are mostly presentered in columns in a matrix. What I want is to show a description (text, not a value) of each of these indicators "on mouse over".
The description of these indicators are stores in a separate databaset/tabel with just 2 columns, Indicator and Description.
As I understand measure is the way to acomplish this? But my DAX-skills are limited.... As a see it I would like to write a condition like "WHEN hover over "Ekonomisk stress" SHOW description for Indicator=Ekonomisk stress".

Hi jeseng ,
The effect you want is basically achievable, but there's one problem.
Based on your description, you may want to appear a tooltip when you put the mouse over the corresponding column name (indicators).
But in the matrix, the tooltip only appears when you put the mouse over the values.Maybe you can use a table with indicator column.

Thank you for your response.
Each of these indicators are presented by disctricts in the city, and these districts have really long names, and since my space is limited, matrix is the best choice.
I'm not to keen on creating report pages for all of my indicators since I have absout 80 of them. Creating a page of each of them feels a litte overwhelming...

You don't need to create a page for each of them, just need to creat one 'tooltip' page and add 'description' column.When you place the mouse over the corresponding data, the corresponding [description] is displayed.
