Dynamic tooltip calculation depending on which measure is being hovered over

[Kimber]

I have a report with many cards on it. I don't want to create separate tooltips for each one. Is there a way for tooltip calculations to change, depending on which card I'm hovering over?

@Kimber here is one idea on how you can achieve this. I hope it helps, if not then let me know why it wouldn't work in your case. See attached.

Hi ALL,
Firstly  parry2k thank you for your solution!

And @Kimber ,Based on your description, your requirement is that you have multiple card visual objects in your report, but you want the tooltip to show different values when you click on different visual objects, right?
We can create a new tooltip page, put the measure we need to calculate dynamically on the tooltip page, and then apply it on our main page to dynamically display the value of a card visual object based on hovering over it.

If you have any other questions, you can check out the pbix file I uploaded, I hope it helps, and I'd be honored if I could solve your problem!

Hope it helps!

No, those aren't quite my requirements. Using your example, my requirements would be if I hover over Clothing, show the total sales. If I hover over Furniture, show the top salesperson. If I hover over Electronics, show the best selling region.

Thank you, @parry2k! Actually, I had already watched your video! It was helpful, but doesn't work with cards because cards can only have a scalar value. I can't put 'MyMeasures'[MyMeasures] on a card.
