ToolTips

Can a bar graph and line graph have different tooltips on the same graph. So if you hover over the bar graph it will show you a view regarding the Bar graph and if you hover over the line graph, it shows you a different View regarding the line graph? I saw that you can put one graph over another and make them transparent but the drill down can't be applied to both graphs

@Italian8 @az111121 OK, this is technically possible. I created 2 report page tooltips. Put your visuals on each page. Now, the important part, for each report page tooltip, select a blank area of the canvas and in the Build visual sub-pane, drag the measure for your line into the Tooltip | Keep all filters field well. Do the same for the other report page tooltip for the measure used for your columns. Back on your visual (bar and line graph) make sure that under General that Tooltips is set to on, Type is Report page and Page is Auto. I have an example PBIX attached below signature.

I am checking for the same option.  I would like to see 3 different tooltips for 3 different dynamic dots in the scattered chart.  Is this possible to show in the single chart?

@Italian8 Are you referring to separate visuals or a bar and line graph (single visual)? Former yes, latter, I don't believe that can be done but will check. I mean, the default will be a little different depending on if you hover over the line or column or are you talking about Report Page Tooltips?

@Italian8 OK, and are you referring to Report Page Tooltips or using the default Tooltips well?
