Matrix Call Out/Colum Description

I have seen in other Power BIs where a matrix visual presents data and when a column of the data values is hovered over, there is a call out or description that appears for each row of the data values.  How do I do this??

Are you referring to tooltips? maybe visual tooltips?

@VasTg  thanks yes that is what I was looking for.  However in my research I am not sure I understand how to have different tooltips appear based on the columns in the matrix.  Did I miss that?

 

Thanks!

The tooltip format stays the same,but the data could be filtered on where you hover over.

 

Did I answer you?
