I have a table matrix visual. I have set the tooltip as a report page.The tooltip shows up correctly when i hover over any cell in the matrix.However I want to show the tooltip only for one of the columns. Currently it shows for all cells and is very annoying for user when the tooltip is always there when mouse is moved over the cells.How can I restrict it to one column?

1. Create the main report page with the table matrix visual and lets say you have three columns Date, MonthlyValue, LifetimeValue on it. I want the popup tooltip to show only on MonthlyValue column.2. Create a second report page with the popup you want to see. In my case i added a chart on this page using date as x axis and the MonthlyValue as Y-axis3. On the second report page, a. go to page properties -> Page information and turn on tooltip b. On the fields tab, look for TOOLTIP. Drag the MonthlyValue column into it.4. On the first report page, select the table visual turn on tooltip and select ReportPage, Page = AutoThats it. The Popup chart created on second report page will show up only for the Monthly value column.Hope this helps.

Bonus: With this "Auto" tooltip page setting you still have an mouseover for the other columns. It is a standard mousover and usually won't be a problem. If you want to get rid of this as well do following: If you set the transparency in the tooltip settings of the table matrix to 100 %, the tooltip for all other columns disapear. I think this is quite a cool approach to display the tooltip for one column of a matrix table only.

It works but only if you set the tooltip column to "Summarized"

I did not get it running on a table visualization. I had to change my visualization to matrix, then I was able to restrict the tooltip to only one column.

There might be something ticky that you can do but I am not aware of any way to make that happen easily.

    I was able to achieve this by setting the Tooltip to the column name in the page that contained the tooltip

HI gjadal

One Simple workaround is there but it may lead to loose some existing functionality of table visual . Just place textbox or any shape with 100% transparency in the table area where you don’t require report page tooltip. Not recommended solution but can ease some work in case you are displaying huge number of columns in table visual.
this workaround will disable click and scroll functionality in table visual where textbox is placed , remaining place will work as it is since we are just adding text box in certain area of table visual .

I hope Microsoft will definitely release column specific tooltip property for Table visual in coming release.

Thanks
