Filtering a single legend through a tooltip on a line chart

When dealing with a lot of lines in a line chart, there are two problems I'm seeing: 

1) We still aren't able to get more than 10 records in the default tooltip on a line chart. 

2) When having a lot of lines, it's more important in my opinion to be able to hover over one of the lines and get info *on that line only.* It looks like per the below this isn't possible? Anybody know of any workarounds?

  • Hi Zarlot531, 

    As I know, it will show multiple value of same axis in tooltip, this is by design. So one workaround is that you need to create seperate measure for each legend in tooltip like below

    Or you need to apply filter on legend field, then it will should one value in tooltip.

    I suggest you could post this in power-bi-ideas
