Show total by year in tooltip

Hello, I have a stacked area chart displaying the number of men and women by year. When a user hovers over a particular year, I want the tooltip to show the total men + women for that year only. Here's the non-working report: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1RJcxZGo1qeeYLeTsNJBJ5dfA2l9VZ6ed/view?usp=sharing

 

For instance, if someone hovers over year 2015, it should say:

Male 7

Female 7

Total 14

 

If someone hovers over year 2017, it should say:

Male 5

Female 14

Total 19

 

Can someone show me how to achieve this? Thank you for your help!

Hi @empoweredbi 

 

Please refer to following article.

 

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/create-reports/desktop-tooltips

 

You just need to define the new page as tooltip, put in a table or a card with Male, Female, and Number from your table. Select the tooltip in your visual under the format tab. When you hover, it will automatically filter by the year you are hovering.

Hi @empoweredbi 

Create measure as 

Count total Measure = CALCULATE(COUNT(Sheet1[sex]),ALLEXCEPT(Sheet1,Sheet1[year]))
and add this to tooltips

Thank you both! Going with reponse #1 as it can be made to look cleaner on a stacked area chart.
