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!
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.

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

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.
