Bar Chart displaying inconsistent results when interact from Table data

 

Hi,

I found one issue in my bar chart and couldn't figure out why the bar chart displays the different results when I clicked the data from right side of table.

 

Much appreciate if someone could give me a hint where I went wrong or let me know how I can fit it.

 

Example:

I clicked right side table data "BULLDOG 1HA", the bar chart shows only BULLDOG's information. see below

 

No Highlighting.jpg

 

 

 

But when I clicked the second data of "GRIZZLY 1HA",  the bar chart shows the GRIZZLY potion of total with Highlighted value.

 

 

With Hightlighted.png

 

 

I would prefer the bar chart could display as portion of total with Hightlighted value. 

 

Hope to get some help here.

 

Thank you,

Hi @Judy_S ,

 

I haven't found any option allow you do custom on default tooltip to choose which display, maybe you can consider create a tooltip page to use that page as custom tooltip.

Hi Xiaoxin,

Thanks for your alternative solution, I did tried to used tooltip instead of table. The solution so far looks good for me. Just one question, can we set condition for tooltip to determine when it will be showed up?

Unfortunately, current you can't do custom on it. It will display when you hover mouse on visual graph bars.

Thanks Xiaoxin,

I guess so, so far Power BI still has many limitations when comes with customizations. I've been followed the monthly updates for awhile, the team is building the improvements month by month, so hopefully we can see more useful features come out soon.
