Matrix tooltip

I have a table of elements such as:

GrayGunn5_0-1666441072824.jpeg

 

Each person can have multiple categories. From this table I have managed to create a matrix like this:

GrayGunn5_1-1666441072828.jpeg

 

In order to achieve this (with help from this forum) I used the following Measure to aggregate the numbers:

 

Measure = if(VALUES(Classification[Classification])=VALUES(Classification_dup[Classification]),0,CALCULATE([People],CALCULATETABLE(SUMMARIZE(VALUES(Data[IdPerson]),Data[IdPerson]),ALL(Classification),USERELATIONSHIP(Data[Classification],Classification_dup[Classification]))))
 

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:

I would be very grateful for any help.

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.
