Returning data in tooltip based on category

Pretty new to creating dashboards and currently trying to link commentary from another table in a clustered bar chart.

 

However, I am unable to pull the proper comment.

 

The current data I have looks like the following:

 

CategorySalesYear
A2002021
B3002021
C1002021
D4002021
E2002021
F3502021
A2002022
B3002022
C1002022
D4002022
E2002022
F3502022

 

And I have a secondary table with comments for a few categories

CategoryComment
BHigh due to
ELow due to
Dxyz

 

Just wondering the best way to add the comment as a tooltip. The only way I found so far is to adding it as a first comment.

 

Not sure

@analyticspbi87 , make syre category is common dimension

 

Then you can have meausre like

 

concatenatex(table[category], (categorty], ", ") and use that in tooltip

 

Or use tooltip page
