Customize Tooltip on a row field in Matrix visual

Hi

 

I need help with customizing the tooltip when hovering over the row data column in the matrix visual. I have figured out to do custom tooltips through a report page and assign it to the value data on the matrix visual, but that doesnt work on the row data.

 

I cannot post the real data i work with due to privacy reasons, but i will make up an an example.

 

The dataset is as follows:

ContinentCountryCapitalInhabitantsArea
AmericaCanadaOttawa15000000050000
AmericaMexicoMexico City10000000030000
AmericaUSAWashington DC30000000045000
EuropeGermanyBerlin8000000010000
EuropeDenmarkCopenhagen50000001200
EuropeFranceParis600000008000
AsiaJapanTokio12000000017000

 

From this i create a matrix visual showing the continent and country as rows and the inhabitants and area as values. And then i want to show the capital as a tooltip when you hover over the country.

Right now it just shows the standard tooltip. And as I said I have figured out how to customize and even make a dynamic tooltip for the Inhabitants and Area Columns. Any ideas?

I think I can help you with this @leifstar81 - do you have a sample PBIX you can send?

@leifstar81 , What I got is that you do not want to pass a few values to the tooltip page(it should not filter). Then you can switch off the option - Keep All filters. And in the below box drag all columns you want to filter

Ehm, I am sorry but I don't understand. In the picture below it shows the Tooltip when I hover over Germany. The tooltip also states Germany. But I want it to say Berlin.
