Data segmentation visual object: customize icon tooltips

Hello,

I have a data segmentation object and I set it up as a mosaic to load segmented categories as icons from a table that uses google url images in Power BI.

The images correctly load, but when I hover the mouse over the icons,  I can see the tooltip with the google drive image url.

Is it possible in power bi to customize the icon tooltip to show the category name instead of the image urls of the icons?

I have checked the visual object properties but I have not found where can this be done.

 

Thanks!

Thank you @AnalyticPulse look like this feature can be added in the future as we don't have it available now.

it's possible to customize the tooltip for icons in Power BI data segmentation objects. but this customization might depend on the specific visual you're using and its capabilities. you can try below:

use a tooltip field: some visuals in Power BI allow you to customize tooltips by specifying a tooltip field. You need to have a field in your dataset that contains the category names you want to display in the tooltip.

configure tooltip field: once you have a field containing the category names, you can configure the visual to use this field for tooltips.  select the visual and find the tooltip property in the visual settings pane. From there, you can specify the field you want to use for tooltips.
