Edit text in Visual Header tooltip

Hi,

 

Is there any way, how to edit/format text in Visual Header tooltip?

I can change the Font, size, colour and background, but missing e.g. alignment. By default, text is aligned to right, which is a bit strange.

Can I change it somewhere?

 

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Ivana

Hi @ivana_tomekova 

 

I'm afraid it is not supported to change the alignment for text in visual header help tooltip currently. There are similar ideas at Power BI Idea Forum that you can vote up:

Microsoft Idea: More alignment and formatting options for visual header tooltips

Microsoft Idea: Help tooltip & Visual tooltip text formatting options.

 

As a workaround, you can create a new page used as a tooltip page, and customize its canvas size. Then insert a Text box into the page and add helpful information into the Text box. The text in Text box can be aligned to left.

After that, return to the original report page and use above report page for the visual header help tooltip.

@v-jingzhang Quite helpful! I was thinking of doing that, but i have got loads of visualisation and numerous pages. I need to create a help tooltip for all. So can't imagine the number of individual pages I will need to create; simplest and easiest way would be to have the option to align, change indent etc within the format section of the tooltip. Power BI should include this feature. I will vote on the link you previously shared.
