Dynamic Tooltip in Matrix

Hi all, I have a matrix with several columns, see example below:

ABCDEFPendingIn ProgressApprovedComplete
      xyz   
          

 

Is it possible that when I hover over values in the 'Pending' column, to display the word 'Pending' in the tooltip and then xyz next to it? And then when you hover over values in the 'In Progress' column, the word 'In Progress' is now in the tooltip?

Hi @natasha519 ,

According to my study, now Power BI does not support the feature.

Maybe you can vote it here.

I have also found a similar post, please refer to it to see if it helps you.

Tooltip per Column/ Measure 

  • You may create a Tooltip page for the Matrix visual, put [Description] and the specific measures ore columns into a visual of Tooltip page , then go to main report page, select the Format section and choose the Tooltip card you created

Yes, create a custom tooltip page and use that instead of the standard tooltip.

but the custom tooltip is table specific, not column specific.....how do i get a tooltip for each of the different columns?
