Enabling tooltip on a Charticulator visual

Hi Experts,

I have created a dot plot using Charticulator where X and Y axis have categorical data. Visual has been exported in Power BI and working as expected except Tooltip

The tooltip is not at all showing up in Power BI. I have activated it on each of the part of chart under the interactivity section 

 

 

Please help. Thanks

 

Note : I am using the latest version of Power BI d

 

 

 
 

 

 

  • I meant that once you are using the visual in Power BI, I only could get tooltips to work when I used a column in the tooltips field well (text or non-aggregated numeric column worked).  When I put measures in the tooltips field well, I did not see it in the popup.  However, when I put a column and a measure in there (pic below), I saw both.  So that may be your work around.

     

     

     

    Regards,

    I tried with one of my charticulator visuals and saw the same issue when I use a measure (implicit or explicit) in the tooltips.  Try using a column that has text or, if it is numeric, choose Don't Summarize.

      Thanks mahoneypat  for your reply.

      Did you mean when exporting the data from Power BI, we should have columns instead of measures?? 

      In my case, i am using a measure in the table and then exporting the data in .csv file to use it in Charticulator.

    Is it possible to format the tooltip? I have pretty large numbers and without commas they are hard to read.
