Line and Column Chart - Tooltip for bar and line

Hi There,

 

I need to make 2 differents tooltips for one line and column chart, but the problems is that I cant find the way to define different tooltip for each other, if I use one, I have the same information in bars and lines, 

 

In other words, one tooltip if I hover a column, and other tooltip if I hover a dot in the line series,

 

I think I have seen some PBI with that feature, but I cant find it,

 

Thank you,

Thank you both for the answers, the workaround is a nice option, but a little bit complex for make everything look good,

 

I just made a more complex tooltip report page, so I was able to show information of bar and line at the same time, not optimal, but good enough

 

Thanks

Hi @rokacl ,

 

Try using a work-around for achieving this. A lot of formatting and sizing will be needed.

 

Follow below steps:

1. Create line chart

2. Create column chart

3. Diable background for both visualizations

4. Overlap both visualizations upon each other

5. Disable X-axis for any one of the visualizations

6. Make sure line chart is in the back(Send to Back)

7. Reduce height of column chart visualization and if possible, format the column colors to be transparent

8. Take whatever different fields you want to show in tooltips of both visualizations

9. Now hover over the colum and you wil lget its tooltips

10. Hover a bit above(this is the area where line chart is present but not column chart) and you can also see different line chart tooltips

 

A drawback is that you won't be able to have tooltips over the markers/dots of the lines chart.

@rokacl , I doubt that you can do that in the same visual.

But use this to have better tooltip experience
