Custom Tooltips Go Blank After Highlighting in Another Visual

Hi. I have linked a pretty simple PBIX with three bar charts displaying 5 measures. I have included custom tooltip pages for the stacked bar and clustered bar charts.   Here is the strange phenomen...

Hi aseagull ,

 

Once you click one of the item, the other not selected items will be filtered. That's why the tooltip on the selected item will work but the others will not.

 

Best Regards,

    Jay, I was afriad that's the solution. It seems like it makes the development of custom tooltips much harder, as I'll have to build dedicated measures (right?) for each of the items in my tooltip, using REMOVEFILTERS or something like that. I will work on that and update the thread when I get it working. (Still a DAX novice.) Thank you!

    Jay or anyone...I don't see how filtering is the issue...if the other data were filtered out, why does A3's data show up, as in the screenshot below? (Notice I've also pasted in the multi-cards from the tooltip pages.)

     

    Also, it seems to filter out *only* on the visuals where I did *not* click and highlight. Wouldn't the filter apply to all the visuals?

     

    Thank you for reading!

      All, I've uploaded a slightly simpler version, with no measures. 

      https://www.dropbox.com/s/0ilwvz7tc6z8ceq/Bars%20and%20ToolTips.pbix?dl=0

       

      I figure this has got to be user error, but I can't make sense of it. Will I end up learning how to file a bug report? Would anyone claim that this is by design: highlighting a data value filters it in other visuals, but not the one where you clicked it? ...smh...

        Hi aseagull ,

         

        Consider visual 2 or 3 is a slicer. If you highlight an org in one visual, the table will be filtered which means the only row in the table will be the clicked org. In that case, when you move your mouse to another org, your tooltip will look for the value corresponding to that org. But at this time, the only row in the table will be the clicked org. So your tooltip cannot find value of the org that you mouse are hovering over and it will shown as blank.
        If you change one of 2 or 3 into table visual you will see the results more intuitively.

         

        Best Regards,

        Jay
