Hello all
I am puzzled with formatting the information that shows when I mouse over a clustered bar chart.
My visual has 2 values ACT YTD and BUD YTD, when I mouse over the ACT YTD the number of the tooltip is a whole number with 3 decimals. When I mouse over the BUD YTD the number is a whole number with no decimals.
Is there a way to:
First: Both values to have the same format, preferably no decimals.
Second: how to further format the tooltip on mouse over. For example can I show the numbers in thousand, million etc?
Thanks a lot

Hi @Anonymous ,
We can create a measure as below and add it to the tooltip to work around.
For more details, please check the pbix as attached.
Has this been resolved yet ? Can we supress the original tool tip value to not display when we hover the mouse on the visualizations ?

Hi @Anonymous ,
use the Modeling tab, select the column which you want to format and choose the format.
Or look at this.
