Splitting a Custom Column Chart Bar Into Units

I'm using tooltips informations but not a lot in the picture below I'm trying to split the custom column chart bar into units so when I ever hover on it it shows the exact informations seprately of that particular unit not of the whole bar.2345.png

 so if I click on the top of March bar it shows me total accidents is 1 with the additional tooltips informations that I can put.

Thnx.

Hi @Chemkhi 
The bar tooltip has the same filter context as the bar itself.
If it is only months you will see the month's qty.
If you want to split it by another filter context for example business units, you can create a customized tooltip.
For more information please refer to the linked tutorial:

Hi @Chemkhi 
As I mentioned in my first response you need to create a desired tooltip 🙂

You can format and design it better than me, I just put the data of the basic table to let you see what I am talking about.

From this point, you can use a tutorial that I linked in my first response.

You can make this "window" larger, 
just customize the size from here:

Remember that you don't have to see all rows in the visual when you design it because on the bars hover it is always filtered by the bar's context.

Hello @Ritaf1983 

thank you for your reply, but what I'm trying to do is: you see March for example in the picture has 3 accidents, 2 occurs on the same day for example, when I make a different visual by day and in the tooltip bar I put the additional information that I want to see when I hover, it shows me only 1 accident informations not two, because the clustered column chart bar isn't divided in two seperate units, that's what I'm trying to do and I didn't find away to do it.

I have a lot more data to attach to that so I don't know if it's efficient but I guess this is good for now.
thanks again @Ritaf1983
