    I found a solution.  In my model implicit measures were disabled because I was using incremental refresh.  I created explicit measures to use in the tooltips.

    e.g. Tooltip Store = first (store),

    Tooltip SalesPerson = first (salesperson), etc.

    I'm using the standard map visual (not 'Filled Map').  Dropping the legend does not correct the problem.   

     

    Any other ideas?

      Would you be able to provide some sample data and indicate the expected outcome?

        Interesting question.  And I appreciate your follow up.

         

        My map only uses data from my 'Stores' table, and when I extract that table and pull just that table into a new .pbix file, the tooltips work correctly.  I've got several tables (and proprietary information) in my model, so I'm hesitant to try to build a sample data set.

         

        However, maybe you can find some clues from the Model View of my dataset.
