Hi,
I have a matrix in Power BI and am trying to get custom tooltips for each row to show a different definition. Is this possible?
e.g. I have the below table. For all rows in Measure 1 I want to show definition 1 as the tooltip.
For all rows in Measure 2 I want to show definition 2 as the tooltip.
Product 1 | Product 2 | Product 3 | |
Measure 1 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
Measure 2 | 2 | 5 | 6 |
Measure 3 | 9 | 8 | 2 |
Thanks,

Hi @Anand24 , @Greg_Deckler , thank you for your quick replies, I'll add further .
Hi @skl2023 ,
Please follow these steps:
1.Create a new tooltip page and place a card visual object.
2.Use the following DAX expression to create a measure
Measure =
VAR _a = SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Type])
VAR _b = SWITCH(TRUE(),
_a = "Measure 1",1, //Replace the definitions you need
_a = "Measure 2",2,
_a = "Measure 3",3)
RETURN _b
3.Setting up a tooltip page for the matrix
4.Final output

@skl2023 ,
Create a new table with Measure and its definitions. Map this table to above table. Create a new tooltip page and pull definition field in it and use this page as tooltip in yout table/matrix.
@skl2023 That should be possible by placing the appropriate measure in the tooltip fields for each tooltip page. That said, not sure I am following exactly what you are trying to do.
