Display Text Tooltip when hovering on "i" button into multiple lines
Hi Community,
I am looking for some help on how we can break text tooltip into multiple lines. I tried using UNICHAR(10), UNICHAR(13) but nothing worked.
Example:
A
B
Instead I am seeing everything as a single text
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
A

apuchakayala , I tried UNICHAR(10) and it did work on pie visual tooltip
Test Tooltip Measure = "Break alphabets into multiple lines" & UNICHAR(10) &"A"& UNICHAR(13)&"B"It works on the card visuals too, I have tried that earlier. But I wanted it as a tooltip on "i" button.
Thanks,

Did you ever figure this out? Running into the same problem and can't find anything on how to fix it
Hi all, I've just tested it and confirm that the issue remains: "tooltip" under "Action" section doesn't support multiline. If someone is interested, here is an alternative: you can use the help header icon and connect it to a tooltip page:
See this thread for pbix - Re: Power BI Button Tooltip Does Not Support Multi... - Microsoft Fabric Community
This is the "standard way" of making tooltips, however, for text only, this methos is much less performing (and more memory consuming) than the help tooltip one.
I think I managed to accomplish what you were trying, with a bit of a workaround.. but the outcome is smooth!
I have used the [U+200E] special character (which is a double invisible blank space).
See the result, and both the "clean" text in notepad and what it looks if you try to put it in a measure (I DID NOT use the measure, it's only to display what I put in the Action-->Tooltip-->Text

This is great. How did you insert the special character into the text tooltip?
You can paste this character " " (the invisible one between the quote marks) as many times as you need for the indentation. It is a trial-and-error task.
(
Updated: I am not sure this form let me paste the special character correctly, as while posting it returns this warning message:.. Alternatively, you can copy+paste it from this page - left-to-right mark (u+200E) copy and paste - Unicode® symbol)
