Show tool tip over different line charts with the same timeframe

Hello

 

Is it possible to scroll over one line chart, but show the tooltips running at the same time across multiple graphs so you can compare different data on the same time frame?

 

I have shown (with photoshop) below what I am trying to achieve.  I have just copied the same data, but this would be different data on the same timeframe.

 

I have looked into cross-filtering / cross-highlighting but  I think this is slightly different as it is on hover.

 

Thanks!

 

 

  • hi,

     

    As the tooltip only shows when you move your mouse to one visual point, it’s not supported to hover on the one visual to make other visual’s tooltip display.

    Maybe you can try the following two workarounds to reach your requirement.

    1) Create another page as a tooltip and add it to one visual, like this:

                  

    2) Turn on data label of target visuals, click on data point in the line chart, target visuals will show the corresponding data label.

    Here is my test pbix file.
