    You have to create a MEASURE... (and use it in the tooltips)

    Thanks!! this worked. I'm used to Tableau where you can put anything you want on the tool tip and format it as needed. This was a bit trickier to figure out! thanks so much.

    I'd like to do something similar - can I concatonate two text strings for a visual (and add a linefeed between them)...

     

    i.e.

     

    text 1

    text 2
