How to prevent Tooltips from picking only the 1st value?

Hello, 

 

The same question was posted few years ago but I could not really understand teh answer. I would apprecaite your help with a step by step solution.

 

I have a simple column chart like this:

X axix: Code (3 letters that denote a specific transaction type)

Y axix: volumes of the codes

 

I need ot add Tooltips as follows"

Tooltis: Desription of the code (short description of the transaction type)

 

When I drag the "Description" to the Tooltips, it becomes "First Description" and when I hover over any "Code", it shows only the first description.

Maybe create a measure that does CONCATENATEX? Tough to tell. Please see this post regarding How to Get Your Question Answered Quickly: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/How-to-Get-Your-Question-Answered-Quickly/ba-p/38490

Back to my question, is creating a measure that does CONCATENATEX, the only way to solve this issue?

Hi @MoH ,

 

Have you tried using a page tooltip instead?
