QuickInfo Setting
I would like to display only the quick info that is also placed in the quick info (Blue line). I want to hide the quick info that comes from data fields (Orange line) so that I can decide for myself what information I want to display.
Hi Edlaos ,
Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Community Forum.
The Tooltip/Quick info field well only adds extra fields to the tooltip, it does not replace the fields that come from the visual itself. Power BI automatically includes the fields that define the data point (such as Axis, Legend and Values) in the tooltip and those cannot be selectively hidden.
Because of that limitation, there isn’t a way to show only the fields placed in the Quick info bucket while hiding the ones coming from the visual context. The only way to fully control exactly what appears in the tooltip is to use a Report Page Tooltip, which replaces the default tooltip entirely and lets you decide what information is displayed.

Sadly not, your best bet is to make a new hidden page, set Page type to Tooltip, add visuals to determine exactly how you'd like your tooltips to show (could be more visually interesting than a table/list), and then on your original chart set the Properties>Tooltips>Type to be Report page, and the page to be your hidden tooltip.
It's annoying, but works.It's crazy, Power BI has an explicit field where you can only drag in quick info, but it doesn't work properly because the field data can't be hidden. And if you disable data fields quick info, they are all disabled.... crazy!

- Create a new report page.
- Go to Format → Page information → Tooltip = On.
- Set Page size → Tooltip.
- Design the visuals you want in the tooltip.
- Go back to your main visual → Format → Tooltip → Type = Report page and select the tooltip page.
