Selected value show me blank in a tooltip when I use parameter field as row in a Matrix

Hi community,

I am trying show the parameter field in a dynamic tooltip in a matrix, but when I used selected value or selected measure the tooltip show me blank.

 

This is my structure of my matrix

I used the option of show values in a row.

This is my parameter:

Hi  @lnerii94 ,

 

You can try to create the following measure to put directly into the Tootip Page:

Test =
MAX('Table 2'[Value1])

vyangliumsft_1-1724733887378.png

Result:

vyangliumsft_2-1724733922858.png

 

If the results above don't meet your expectations, Can you share sample data and sample output in table format? Or a sample pbix after removing sensitive data. We can better understand the problem and help you.

selectedvalue is used to show a single value in a column after it has been filtered.  You are using a parameter.  What column are you refering to in your measure?  I'm not sure if it can work or not so you will have to test it using the columns from the parameter table.  If it doesn't work, you could try IF(HASONEVALUE(ParameterColumnName),VALUES(ParameterColumnName))

Selected value shows blank when there's more than one value to display. You could change your selected value measure to a test measure like this to see what's going on

 

test = CONCATENATEX(VALUES(Table[Column name]),Table[column name],", ")

 

instead of showing blank, it will show you the list of values.

It is work to show all the names of the measures in the matrix, but How I can to show only the name of the specific row, for example:
