Helper message for each chart when the data started collecting

Hello,
i have many different charts in a page of a power bi, and they all have different date which the data start collected from.

 

for example, chart A starts collecting data from 5/1/2022 but chart B would start from 7/1/2022.

when user sees the charts in the range of 4/1 - 8/1, chart A would show from 5/1 - 8/1 but chart B would only show 7/1 - 8/1.

 

I want to notify the user when the each chart start collecting data from.
what are some good way to show or tell user when the data started collecting from?
Does power BI have ability for hover over display?

Yes. You can use tooltips for a hover-over display. See this for more info: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/create-reports/desktop-custom-tooltips
I imagine you could create a tooltip that will just have a scorecard that shows the min-date for each table and then switch out the report page based on which chart is being filtered on.
