How to create tool tip comparisons between two exactly same columns

Hi,

 

My team mate has developed a dashboard where there are side by side brand comparison. so, he has duplicated brand column. So, there are brand1 and brand2 columns which has exactly same values. The left side cards has values based on brand1 slicer and right side cards have values based on brand2 slicer.

 

Sample image.PNG The above image is the sample. Now the client wants the tool tip with the trend chart comparison on both the sides. For example, tool tip of 2M in brand1 should show the weekwise comparison of brand1 and brand2. The below mentioned in the sample table

 

weekBrand1Brand2Units SoldSelling Price
1B1B1970$12
1B2B2883$12
1B3B3150$12
1B4B4212$13
2B1B1774$10
2B2B2948$13
2B3B3270$13
2B4B4465$13
3B1B1750$13
3B2B2886$15
3B3B3827$10
3B4B4798$14
4B1B1549$13
4B2B2988$11
4B3B3216$14
4B4B4624$10

Hi, @Anonymous 

It seems that you need duplicate a new table first in query editor. Then create a relationship between tables.

After that, you can create tooltip page as below:

Make sure enable the option "Tooptip" . Take care not to use a page size that's too large—it can obscure the visuals on the source page.

Then  you need to drag the tooltip fields to "tooltip pane" .

In the end ,you need to manually set a report tooltip for each  card visual.

Hi , @Anonymous 

Not very clear .

Are there other tables in your model? Do the fields in the visual come from the same table?

From your sample data, I only find one list of units sold and selling price in the same table.Do they correspond to brand1 or brand2?

Yes, the fields come from the same table. Actually, brand2 is the replica of brand1. you can leave out the column brand2.

 

Basically, I want to compare Selling price and Units Sold of any two brands side by side.

@Anonymous , Not Very clear. You can ger week on week comparison and create tooltip page but this will depend on what is there on visual

For Week on Week refer

@Anonymous - Sorry, are you talking about in a tooltip page having some kind of chart? I am not clear on what the chart needs to look like. It it we me, I would have a single brand column and 2 disconnected brand tables that I would use for my slicers I think. I would have a measure for Brand1 and a measure for Brand2. You could then use your week as the axis and have the Brand1 and Brand2 measures in your Values and that would allow you to see both compared in a graph.
