Adding a tooltip to a text box

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I do not believe there is an option to add a tooltip to a text box, but do you know of a workaround to do this? I want the text box to say something like "Hover for footnote" and the tooltip be customizable to say what anything I want it to say.

Any and all help is appreciated!

Hi @Anonymous,

Sorry, it is not supported to add tooltips to a textbox, you can vote here.

As a workaround, you can use a donut chart overlaying a textbox to add help text, for more details, please review this similar thread: http://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Add-help-tooltips-to-reports/td-p/156816 .

As i dont know what you are trying to achieve... have you tried a button (has a tooltip under Action section)

or an 'Advanced Card' visual which has a tooltip as well
