Can I have both default tooltip and a custom tooltip show up for a visual?

Hi,

 

So, I made a dashboard with lots of visuals, and the default tooltip is different for each of the visuals (left screenshot). I want to keep these default tooltips that are unique to the visuals, but also want to add trend by year tooltip for the visuals that I made (right screenshot). 

 

I was wondering if there is way to have both of these tooltips show up for the visuals.

Thanks in advance

Sure. Change the measure to:

Cause or event = IF(ISFILTERED( table[cause]), SELECTEDVALUE (table[cause]), IF(ISFILTERED(table[event]), SELECTEDVALUE (table[event])))

 

and add similar logic for any other visual in the page

the only way I can think of is to include the  data from the regular tooltip in the report page tooltip and only use the latter

@PaulDBrown could you elaborate on what you mean by that please. I can add the number of crashes to report page tooltip like this, but I can't add the "Major Cause" part in this case, because that is specific to that visual.

does adding a measure to the report page tooltip with SELECTEDVALUE(table[cause]]) work?

Where do I add the measure to?

the report page tooltip in a card visual

So the measure works for the "Major Cause" visual, but says blank when I hover over other visuals. I have attached the screenshots below.

 

Can I add multple tables to the selected value measure? I tried adding other table to the measure with a comma but power bi doesn't like that.
