Create Tooltip in Table format

hi community,

I want to create a tooltip that is similar to Qlik tooltips:

bennisteges_0-1747044559544.png

 

I manage to create a new page and embed it also but I struggle to create the same format and style as in the picture above.

 

What does not work: if I add more data fields to "Tooltips" in the scatter diagram, it puts the data fields of the chart to the top per default and I cannot change the order anymore as its just adding the extra fields below.

Please help!

 

Thanks and br,

Benjamin

Hi @bennisteges,

Thank you for reaching out in Microsoft Community Forum.

Please follow below steps to Resolving Tooltip Filtering and Formatting Issues;

1.Make sure the tooltip page receives filter context by including the filtering field (e.g., Product ID) in the main visual’s axis, legend, or tooltip fields.

2.Confirm that visuals on the tooltip page respect filters and don’t use functions like REMOVEFILTERS that ignore filtering.

3.Turn off headers and totals via the visual’s formatting pane to simplify the tooltip display.

4.For dynamic labels with units (e.g., “kg”), create a measure combining the value and unit, then show it in a card visual for better alignment.

This is what I am doing, however, it does not allow me to use the same style of a tooltip like in Qlik or the default tooltip with a list of values.

Custom tooltip does not match the style:

Default tooltip gives me not the possibility to change the order as it takes values from the chart on top:

Hi @bennisteges,

Thank you for reaching out in Microsoft Community Forum.

Thank you @danextian  for the helpful response.

Please follow below steps to resolve the error;

1.Enable Tooltip under page settings and set page size to Tooltip.

2.Use a two-column layout: one for labels (e.g., “Product”), one for values.

3.Remove gridlines, headers, totals, and reduce font size for a compact look.

4.Create a table with label–value rows for full control over field order and display and please use below DAX to create a single table you can bind to a simple two-column tooltip layout.

Tooltip Table =
UNION (
SELECTCOLUMNS('YourTable', "Label", "Product", "Value", 'YourTable'[Product]),
SELECTCOLUMNS('YourTable', "Label", "Sales", "Value", FORMAT('YourTable'[Sales], "#,##0"))
)

hi @v-pbandela-msft ,

 

thanks for the response.

 

I face a couple of problems. If I add a table, then the tooltip shows all values instead of just the value for the single object:

Same is happening when I use a matrix instead of a table.

Also removing the header does not work.

 

Another approach I tried is using text boxes and cardes. However, there I am facing many more issues with alignment of the format, not being able to add the value label (like kg)...

 

Thanks and br,

Benjamin

Hi @bennisteges 

Create a tooltip page that contains a table instead of using the auto-generated ones: Create tooltips based on report pages
