Chart made by Python, can't show tooltips

Hi,

I am learning to use Python to draw some line/scatter chart in power BI.

I can do it and the chart show correctly.

but the issue is that when I move the mouse to the chart, there is no tooltips like other chart.

for example, when I move the mouse to Jan, it will show the revenue is 10M,,,,

 

How to add tooltips for the chart made by Python?

thank you very much!

Need Help

    Write more Python. Sorry, not trying to be flippant, but you would have to write Python to display something like a tooltip in a Python visual. Same goes for R and SVG, except that you would use R and SVG respectively. Python, R and SVG visuals are just that, visuals that get rendered based upon the programming language. Power BI knows nothing about the actual visual rendered so it cannot possibly show a tooltip. That would be some kind of magic if it could.

    Hi , King_Jin 

    Sorry this is not supported currently. 

    Many visualization in PowerBI do not yet support built-in tooltips,  let alone chart by  python.

     

    Maybe you can check more Known limitations here.

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/desktop-tooltips

     

    You  also can come up with a new idea and add your comments there to make this feature coming sooner. https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas
