Can you use tooltips to explain categories for the end user?

I have 9 categories of customers AA, AB, AC, BA, BB, BC, CA, CB and CC.

All customers are placed in one of these 9 categories depending on the revenues and profit they create.

The exact breaking points might not be obvious to the end user, so I want to use tooltips so when the end user hover over the diagram they can see the values.

 

Their are two possible end results I  think could work.

1. When the end user hover over the diagram they can see the explanation of all the diffrent categories.

2. When the end user hover over the diagram they can see the explanation of the value they hover over, so if they for instance hover over AA customers they can see what the definition of an AA customer would be.

 

Either would be soultion.

Thanks to the great efforts by MS engineers to simplify syntax of DAX! Most beginners are SUCCESSFULLY MISLED to think that they could easily master DAX; but it turns out that the intricacy of the most frequently used RANKX() is still way beyond their comprehension!

DAX is simple, but NOT EASY!
