Tooltip to display Correct Month/Year for visual showing monthly Year over Year

[Anonymous]

I have a visual displaying monthly YoY sales totals. When hovering over the sales for the same period last year, it doesnt display the correct year, so it can be confusing which months are actually being compared.

For example: For May, This year it shows May 2018 and Previous Year Shows May 2018 as well, when I would like it say May 2017. The data is correct, the labels are not. 

It's not letting me attach a picture. I will keep trying!

Hi @Anonymous,

I'm afraid this is not supported. The values displayed in Tooltip can only be those fields added to X-axis and Y-axis. In your case, the year number displayed on X-axis is 2018, current context is Year2018, the YTD LY is generated based on Year2018. so it is not available to see 2019 when hovering over the sales for the same period last year.

Is there any workaround for this issue?
