Default Tooltips (Know the formula or dax query behind it)

Dears,

 

Is there a way where I can find the formula behind a default tooltip value. I want to show the same value in another visualization but I don't know what's the dax query behind it to write.

 

Thanks

  • RoaaR Ah, it's a percent of total. Well, couple things to try. Otherwise I'll need to know more about your data, whether that Market Saving % is a measure, etc. But, let's say that is a measure, you can often click the little down arrow next to the measure in the field well of a visual and click Show As and then Percent of Total or Percent of Grand Total, etc. That would be the first thing I would try. Otherwise, you need to do something along the lines of:

    Percent of Total
      VAR __Measure = [Market Saving %] //assuming this is a measure
      VAR __Table = SUMMARIZE(ALL('Table'),[Category],"__Measure",[Market Saving %])
      VAR __Total = SUMX(__Table,[__Measure])
    RETURN
      DIVIDE(__Measure, __Total, 0)

    RoaaR Can you provide an example (image). Most tooltip values are simple aggregations like SUM, MAX, MIN, etc.

      Thank Greg, 

      Below is an example: the tooltip is showing the weight of percentage calculated on an aggrigation level:

      This (79%) value shown in tooltip  is what I want to reach for different visuals & categorizatin
