Hi,

Based on the reply of neelofarshama I am also looking for alternative for tooltip report page. when we are adding tooltip report page the size becomes too large. I just want to add one time field in the rows of Matrix visual but its not showing in default tooltip popup. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Rahul

Hi @Anonymous ,

In my test, for Table /Matrix visual, we could not drag fields to Tooltips options directly, so we create a page for tooltip instead.

Hi Eyelyn, I'm also facing the same issue. I tried to create a tooltip page with 20 fields. But I'm not getting proper alignment like the default tooltip. Instead, I'm getting a tooltip page like the one you have attached. It would be better if the tooltip is like the on

e below, which I have attached here. Can you or someone pls suggest a solution for this issue?

Hi @Anonymous ,

According to my understand, you want to a tooltip with other columns for values in matrix , right?

You could follow the steps below or take a look at this article

1. Create a new page “tooltip1 and set its Page Size as Tooltip and make a visual based on the required columns in it.

2. Enable  the tooltip button  under Page Information, drag the “Retained to tooltip field.

3. Select the matrix visual , enable the tooltip button and set Page as “tooltip1

 

Then the visualization looks right like this:

@Anonymous - I believe you have to use the Format pane (paint roller), turn on Tooltip and use a tooltip page?
