Tooltip/help text when user hovers the mouse on icon in the table visualization

Hello,

 

Thanks for your time in advance. I am wondering if you could share how to display the text corresponding to the icon in the Rules (the picture below). Therefore, the ideal situation would be that the user can view the text 'Completed' over the icons (with the red rectangle)

hello @chyang0107 

 

go to general setting in your table visual, then ticks Tooltips ON (i think the default is OFF).

Hi Irwan ,thanks for your quick reply, I totally agree with you.

Hi @chyang0107 ,

After creating the tooltip page, place the card visual. Finally, use the 'SELECTEDVALUE' function to create the measure.
