How can I create a tooltip in which I change the metric to be displayed according to where I pass the cursor

[Syndicate_Admin]

Is there a way for one measure or another to be displayed in the tooltip depending on where the cursor passes? For example, if I select the Travelers value, I will be shown only the Travelers line, and if not, I will be shown the revenue line.

I have tried with field parameters but it does not work, the two measurements continue to come out.

In the end I solved it differently, doing another powerBI visualization strategy, playing with the colors and measurements that returned BLANK

Thanks for the update, and glad to hear you found an alternative approach that worked for your scenario.

If you're open to it, feel free to share a few details about the visualization strategy you used, especially the technique with colors and returning BLANK measures. It could be helpful for others exploring similar tooltip behavior.

Appreciate you following up.

Hi @Syndicate_Admin ,

Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft Fabric Community.

Based on the approach described in the blog post, it is possible to achieve your desired behavior by creating separate tooltip pages for each measure and linking them to the matrix. Here’s how you can set it up:

1. Create a separate tooltip page for each measure (Travelers and Revenue):
   Go to your report and create a new page.

1. 1. In the page settings (under "Format" > "Page Information"), enable "Tooltip".

   2. Add a visual to this page that shows only the Travelers data. For example, use a line chart showing only the Travelers line.

   3. Repeat the same process for the Revenue tooltip page.

2. Assign the appropriate tooltip page to the matrix visual:

   1. In the matrix, go to the "Tooltip" section of the visual settings.(Format-->General-->Tooltip)

   2. Set the "Type" to "Report Page".

   3. Set the "Page" to "Auto". Power BI will automatically select the correct tooltip page based on the measure hovered over.
      
      

3. Ensure measures in the matrix are displayed as columns:

     Place your measures (Travelers and Revenue) in the Values section of the matrix, not in rows or columns.

With this setup, when you hover over the Travelers column in the matrix, Power BI will show the tooltip page that corresponds to Travelers. When you hover over Revenue, it will show the Revenue tooltip page.

Hope this helps. Please reach out for further assistance.

Hi @Syndicate_Admin ,

I get what you're trying to do

Unfortunately, Power BI doesn’t support fully dynamic tooltips that change based on hover context like that. Field parameters are great for switching visuals based on slicers, but they won’t respond to cursor position in the way you're describing.

One workaround is to use a report page tooltip and control visibility of visuals inside it using DAX. For example, you can create a measure like:

ShowTravelers = IF(SELECTEDVALUE('YourTable'[Category]) = "Travelers", 1, 0)

Then use this to show/hide visuals in the tooltip page using visual-level filters. It’s not perfect, but it gives you some control over what’s shown depending on the hovered value.

In the matrix visual also what is seen is a measure of "Travelers" "Income". It is not a column per se, it is values. I give up
