Hello everyone
I have a report/ page with 4 rectangles.
I would like to add for each rectangle a specific tooltip. Means, when I hover a rectangle a text should be displayed.
since there are 4 rectangles how can I build this?
Do I need a excel spreadsheet with 4 texts with individual IDs and then place a hidden visual with this selected ID behind the rectangle?
or how would you build that?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi, @joshua1990
Are you referring to Rectangle in Shapes?
As of now ,it doesn't support to create tootips for a rectangle shape.
As a workaround ,you can try to use a card visual to create a custom tooltip page.
You can check if this attached pbix file helps.

@joshua1990 You can use a textbox and place 4 card visual in each corners like below. On mouse hover text value would be displayed.

@joshua1990 It is possible to have a chart as a tooltip. You can create a custom tooltip in the form of chart and then use it as tooltip.
