    Hi pter14 

     

    You can use tooltip as a page option then you can make all your tooltip in the same format 

     

    I have attached the sample i have created for your reference

Hi pter14,

Thank you for checking those settings and getting back with an update. I really appreciate the follow-up.

Since changing the tooltip type and toggling the Modern Tooltip option did not make a difference, this might be related to the visual rendering mode or theme formatting rather than the tooltip setting itself.

Check the visual style version: Select both visuals → open the Format pane → Visual section.

Confirm that both visuals use the same Visual style (either Classic or Modern). Power BI sometimes applies the modern layout automatically to Line Charts, which causes that bold font difference.

Check your theme settings: Go to View → Themes → Customize current theme → Text and make sure the tooltip font or weight isn’t customized differently.

Try recreating the Line Chart or toggling off any preview features under File → Options → Preview features (especially Modern visual tooltips and New visual container experience), then restart Power BI Desktop.

If you still see the mismatch after this, please let us know which Power BI version you are using (from Help → About) that will help us narrow it down further, as some formatting updates were recently introduced in the Fabric version.

Hope this clears it up. Please try the above and let us know if you have any doubts regarding this. We will be happy to help.

    Hello v-kpoloju-msft ,

    Sorry for not responding yet. Tried all your suggestions, changing modern visuals on/off, changing the preview features change with restarting Power BI, and recreating the line chart. None of them worked. What I checked is when i change the color of label and value in the second tooltip the date is the value and is changing when changing the color of the value. 
    And in the Line chart ithe values has a marker when hovering around, and also on the tooltip you can see the blue circle for the total. Not sure if it is in connection.

    My version number: 2.148.1477.0 64-bit

    In the meantime i created own visual for both, but I would like to figure this out too.

     

    Thank you for the help!

      Hi pter14,
      Thank you for the follow-up question.

      From your description, it sounds like you have already tried all the key settings, and the remaining difference is likely caused by how Power BI renders modern visuals internally. In recent updates (including your version 2.148.1477.0), Line Charts automatically use the new visual container and modern tooltip experience, even if the “Modern visual tooltip” toggle is off. That’s why you’re seeing the blue marker and bold font that don’t appear in your Column Chart.

      Enable the new visual experience fully Go to File → Options and settings → Options → Preview features and make sure “New visual container experience” is turned ON, then restart Power BI.
      Recreate both visuals after restart. This ensures both visuals use the same rendering engine and tooltip format. Once done, the tooltips should match (fonts, layout, and markers).

      If you prefer the classic look without the bold font or markers, turn OFF both Modern visual tooltips and New visual container experience, restart Power BI, and recreate both visuals again.

      This difference is due to the gradual migration of visuals to the modern rendering engine, which has updated tooltip styling built in. If you test the report in Power BI Service, you will notice that both visuals display more consistently since the Service version already uses the new renderer everywhere.

      Hope this clears it up. Let us know if you have any doubts regarding this. We will be happy to help.
