How to Freeze the First Column and Apply Tooltip in Power BI Table Visual

Hi everyone,

I'm working with a table visual in Power BI, and I need to achieve two things:

  1. Freeze the first column so it stays in place while scrolling horizontally.
  2. Apply a custom tooltip to this frozen column.

I've tried looking into the formatting options but can't seem to find a way to do both. Is there a workaround or a specific feature that allows these functionalities in Power BI?

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

@Ramya_Shree You could possibly emulate this behavior by having a single column table visual layered on top of your actual table visual. This would also solve the custom tooltip issue. Hacky but that's about the only way to go that I can think of.
