How to add text in legend when we hover mouse cursor over there.

Hi Team,

I have one bar chart in my visualisation where dataset is represented in different grades and each grade is having different meaning. Grade is from A to F and I wanted to show the meaning of grade when I hover mouse cursor on the legend. Please help how i can do that. How i can add text behind the legend so that when i hover the mouse it will show the meaning of that legend.Capture.PNG

Hello @Ashish7791 ,

 

you need to create a tooltip and this will show when you hover over a legend.

Hi Idrissshatila,

Thanks for your solution. I appreciate your efforts but the solution you have provided will show if I will hover over the chart. Tooltip only shows only when i hover towards the chart while i am looking to see the description of grade (which is legend in my graph) when I over that legend.
