Outlining text Help tooltip (type text) in visual - General- Header icons

Text is always aligned to the right and report-users would like left aligned for better readability. Is there is reason for current behavior. Is it possible adding buttons to choose way of alignemen...

    Hi,

     

    What can i say about the solution.....it is still a workaround that can solve the issue but i would be happier if the solution (left align as default...) would be build in in stead of using workaround. I hope you understand.

    I will accept my own solution to close the issue.... 😁

Hi WillemM,

 

Thank you InsightsByV, your response is accurate, this is a current limitation in Power BI.

For more context, the Help tooltip (type: text) under Header icons is a simple UI element and doesn’t offer advanced formatting options such as alignment, styling, or spacing. The right alignment is fixed and cannot be changed right now.

 

If you want alternatives that don’t involve the tooltip page solution, you might try:

Using an info icon/button with a tooltip page or overlay for full formatting control

Adding a transparent shape with a report tooltip instead of the header tooltip

 

These methods offer more flexibility, especially for readability.

Your expectation for left alignment is reasonable, but currently, there’s no direct way to adjust it, and the existing workaround is the best solution.

 

Thank you
