Displaying string in a tooltip

[chayanupadhyay]

Hello All,

I have one scenario where i have to show Customer Name in tooltip.

I have Map visualisation which has geo code (combination of long and lat) which i put in Location, size is based on Net Sales and color saturation on some other measure.. now i have to show the customer name in tooltip (Geo code is of outlet and i have to show outlet name(customer name) in tooltip).

I have customer Name attribute if i drag the customer name and put it in tool tip. i got First, Last, Count and Distinct Count but there is no option like don't summarize.

As per my intial analysis Tooltip require to have measure or if any attribute is dragged then we have to do some aggregation or to do some expression in case of string like first,last etc.

Any suggestion or advice? how to show Customer Name in Tooltip.. I tried to create some measure but no luck with that.

Please let me know if any further information is required.

Thank you !!!

First or Last doesn't work?

You might want to check out the new Tooltip Page feature. You can create an entire custom page that becomes the tooltip. It is a Preview feature in the March edition and you pretty much have no limitations on what you can put on the page.

@Greg_Deckler Thank you for your reply.

First and Last is not working properly basically when i do first or last i am only able to see few customer against geo code and other customer names are showing blank but i can see customers are present infront of each geo code in data source.

Each geo code is unique, there is no duplicate geo code.

Can you also explain what does First and Last mean?

Customized tool tip feature is there but my client is not ready to go forward with this approach yet so wondering if someone has created any measure which can display name for each geo code plotted on Map visualisation.

Thank you.

Finally we move forward with Customized tool tip (hard to convience but we said no other option) and we have hidden the page so it is not visible to end user and Customer names are showing in tooltip.
