Matrix tooltip
I have a table of elements such as:
Each person can have multiple categories. From this table I have managed to create a matrix like this:
In order to achieve this (with help from this forum) I used the following Measure to aggregate the numbers:
I am now struggling with trying to create a tooltip that shows the Name (or ID) of the people in each cell, i.e. I want to create something that liiks like this:
The mock up file is attached below:

Hi @GrayGunn5 ,
I think you can try to create this measure to filter your visual in your tooltip page.
Filter =
VAR _C1 =
SELECTEDVALUE ( Classification[Classification] )
VAR _C2 =
SELECTEDVALUE ( Classification_dup[Classification] )
VAR _VALUES =
CALCULATETABLE (
VALUES ( Data[IdPerson] ),
FILTER ( ALL ( Data ), Data[Classification] = _C2 )
)
RETURN
IF ( _C1 = _C2, 0, IF ( MAX ( Data[IdPerson] ) IN _VALUES, 1, 0 ) )
Here I create a table visual by 'Data'[IdPerson] and keep all filters from 'Classification'[Classification].
Add this measure into visual level filter and set it to show items when value = 1.
Result is as below.
For more details: Create tooltips based on report pages

Matrix visuals do not support custom tooltips. If this is important to you please consider voting for an existing idea or raising a new one at https://ideas.powerbi.com
