JBarton As described in this thread, you should be able to create a measure that will return text values for tooltips.

    JBarton Huh... Interesting. I was going to say "no", but testing this out quick again in the Service is showing me different results... I can drop in a second "Station" field in the location section, then the drill down feature gets enabled, and I can drill down to the "Station" name - in your case. But while I can add the field in the Desktop, it doesn't work the same way... it doesn't show up in the label. I can only imagine it is a slight variation and will eventually make it's way to the Desktop, or a bug that it doesn't currently show.

    I was also able to then move the name up to the top level of location, and the drill down was to the address (In the Service)...

    So, it is deriving location off the address, but allowing you to replace that with a "Name" on a different level.

    Let me know if you see the same behavior.
