Hi, @Anonymous 

Where did you find this kind of visual? Is it just from a static picture or a Power BI report that can be interacted with?

According to my test and research, it seems that Power BI doesn’t have this kind of tooltip, it’s just a type of text box that is placed on the chart, which is also not dynamic. Because you can not use a measure in the text box.

This is the rendering I got after testing:

To get the dynamic tooltip in Power BI, here’s a custom visual you can try:

More info about text boxes and shapes to Power BI reports

 

If they still can’t meet your needs, you can go to the Power BI Idea to submit a new idea so that people with the same idea can vote for you. I will also vote for you.😁
