Helper ICannot add a text column to the tooltips field
Hi folks,
I am working with a simple standard pie chart. I am trying to add a column to the "Tooltips" field but it just won't work.
To the left, is how it works on all other models. But this specific model I am working on (to the right), it just won't let me add the same column. I've checked the column settings in Visual Studios and it is identical. I've also checked the Power BI desktop reporting settings and it is also identical.
The one on the right is simply a copy of the model on the left so I can't imagine anything could be different, but could there possibly be something that I am missing that could cause this issue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, many thanks in advance.
newyorker Old thread, but do your models use calculation groups? If so, that's the cause of your issue. Calculation groups force "implicit measures" to be turned off throughout the entire model. Tooltips with column values (as opposed to measures) are Implicit Measures.
You could just create a measure for what you need to do in your tooltip, using a function like FIRST()

Hi Miguel,
It's 2.82.5858.961 and it works for me with any other data models / dataset I work with, but just not with this specific model I am working with at the moment. Hence, why I asked if there is a configuration in the data model I am potentially missing that's preventing me from achieving me this.
Hi newyorker ,
What kind of data source are you using?Which connection mode do you use?
Best Regards,
