Display Text Tooltip when hovering on "i" button into multiple lines

[apuchakayala]

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: 

Test Tooltip Measure= "Break alphabets into multiple lines" & UNICHAR(13) &"A"& UNICHAR(13)&"B"

When I add above measure to the tooltip on "I" Button Excepted Output should be:

Break alphabets into multiple lines

A

B

Instead I am seeing everything as a single text

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,

A

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

( Tagging @ecalzavara as I am trying to recover my old account)

This is great. How did you insert the special character into the text tooltip?

[ecalzsalix]

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)

I am confused. Can you please paste the screenshot of the symbol you are talking about?

I copy this:

 and paste it into my powerbi tooltip text box

how many times as I need until I get the visual alignment I am after

This is a fantastic workaround. Copy the char and then Cntrl-V as many times as needed.

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.

@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"

@amitchandak 

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
