Tooltip not showing all lines data
Hello everyone,
I have a silly problem and I can't figure out how to solve it.
I must recreate a line chart that exist in a Power BI deskop file that an ex colleague did. When overing with the mouse, the tooltip shows all the points like this:
and this is exactly what I need to obtain.
Now when I create exactly the same chart in a new PBI desktop file, the same tooltip showes like this:
I can't figure out what make it appear differently. The configuration of the visual is exactly the same, and it was not a custom tooltip.
Any idea ?
Thanks in advance
Sorry I couldn't answer before ! I found a solution, even though for me the reason of this behavior is still not clear. It's not a matter of version of Power BI or whatsoever. And I didn't ask for custom tooltips, I just wanted to recreate the standard one, as showed in the picture, and as you can see on your example too...
I could eventually do it by toggling off the "High density sampling" option, on the general settings panel:
I read the Microsoft documentation and within the considerations and limitations of this feature, they said: "Because of increased granularity and the binning process, Tooltips may only show a value if the representative data is aligned with your cursor. "
This is exactly why the standard tooltips showed up differently.
Thank you everyone for your help

MarcoFogale , I think the year is a legend, and that is why this kind of tooltip.
You can create a tooltip page , with [Keep all filters - off] , pass only axis value - add that to > add drill/tooltip value here
Hi MarcoFogale,
Here is Area chart with custom tooltip which will help you to get custom tooltip for each area value.

This was made with our Custom Visual creator tool PBIVizEdit.com. With this tool,

Give this a shot and let us know if you face any problem/errors.
You can use the editor to modify your visual further (some modifications cannot be done in Power BI window and have to be in editor).Thanks,
Team PBIVizEditHi MarcoFogale ,
I can't reproduce your issue. Everything is normal, just like the first picture. What version of pbi desktop are you using? Could you share a pbix (Use virtual data)and create a line chart?
Best Regards,
Liang
