Yes, i using that, but it require to create new tooltip to each visual, so on report page i have 12 visuals and must create 12 pages for tooltips, which makes it difficult to navigate through the pages

Hi @Analitika ,

 

Unfortunately, the tooltip will show values automatically. It can't be changed based on slicers. For your situation, I'm afraid there is not a good workaround to solve it.  You may need to create one by one for different visuals.

 

If you really need the feature, you could submit request in Power BI Ideas

Data model is not important, i need to have only one custom tooltip page, and use this tooltip in all visuals, but each visual can refer to different columns an mesuares, so there i need formula, to describe, in wich visual i want to see which column info, that is it.

Or how to catch hover event on each visual, when tooltip appear?
