Create a Tooltip for a Matrix

Hi All,

 

How do I create a Tooltip for a Matrix where the data in the tooltip isn't being shown in the matrix itself. 

 

This is very easy for other visual as there is a seperate field for this in the fields section - this is not the case for a matrix.

 

I have tried creating a seperate page to hold the tooltip and using the type and page options when toggling tooltip on. However, the page option only gives 'Auto' as an option, even though the report has multiple pages.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

The steps should be correct for creating tooltips, please refer to:

Using report tooltip pages in Potooltip- Power BI | Microsoft Docs

 

Tooltips works fine in my matrix. I changed the setting for the tooltip pages. Check the tooltip option and set the page type to tooltip.
