Please suggest a way to dispaly details of cell in matrix visualization on hover.
My report displays customer names in a matrix visual.When I place my cursor over a name, it should display the other names linked to those name.
Is this possible?
Hi @Anonymous,
I think 'report tooltip page' feature should suitable for your requirement, you can create a table visual on the report tooltips page with names and this 'name' field should relate to the key 'user name' which you mentioned.
BTW, please also check the limits to confirm your scenario is suitable to use custom report tooltip pages:

@Anonymous - To show the detailed data, you should go for drillthrough. Check the below link to set it up-

Hi
I tried but not able to show the data which I want to.
I dragged names to the tooltip section of report. But those values are not displaying.
