How to change automatically generated label in tooltip?

Hello to everybody, 

I have a bar chart and in the tooltip there are few rows, most of them added by me, but the last one that shows the total amout od sales is automatically generated. The problem is, that I need to change its label, because "Total" is misleading and I need to describe it better.

I haven´t found a way how to do it, although it seems to be simple... please help if you know how to solve this, thank you!

Hi @Verity ,

 

From your screenshot, I think it should be the default tooltip in Power BI visual. The default tooltip will be created by Power BI based on the data in visual fields.

According to your statement, I think you want to custom the tooltip. I suggest you to create tooltips based on report pages.

You can refer to below offical blog to learn more details.

For reference:

Thank you, I tried this, but probably I donť do it correctly, or its not suitable to my problem? I don know how to create a tootlit that looks like a the default tooltip, because if i tried, it looks like a table and shows different information. The second problem is, thai if I put all the columns in the new tooltip, it doesnt work bacause the limit on 1000000 rows is exceeded.
