Hi Anonymous 

 

From your screenshots, it seems you were adding a field in Drill-through fields well rather than Tooltips fields well. See the following image. The Red highlighted one is Tooltips fields well you need. The green one is for drill-through feature. In addition, you need to turn on Tooltip option in Format pane. 

 

Please refer to the following documents about setting up tooltips.

    Thank you!

     

    Solved - partly.

    For Bar-Diagrams I have both fields (unfortunately both are labelled Quick-Info in German). When I drop the description in the second Quick-Info I get the filter. When I drop it into the first one it works.

     

     

     

    But for Matrix I do not have the first Quick-Info-Field - only the "Filter"-one: 

     

     

     

    ...and when I direct QuickInfo to a reporting-page it shows all the descriptions, not only the one for the company I hover over:

    Thank you very much!

      Hi Anonymous 

       

      Which version of Power BI Desktop are you using? I switch my Power BI Desktop application to German and it doesn't have two Quick-Info. The second is Drillthrough right there.

       

      Regards,

        Hi v-jingzhang,

         

        I use 2.100.785.0 64-bit (Dezember 2021).

        Now I have switched back to english.

         

        I did not realize

        A) the sometimes different naming of Quick-Info and Tooltip (in English) while in German all are named "Quick-Info)

        B) the different behaviour of the 2 fields Quick-Info/("real" Tooltip) and Quick-Info (Drill-Down)  in German 

        C) that - depending on visual - sometimes there are 2 fields and sometimes only 1 (see images)

         

        Bar. Tooltip ok. Second Tooltip-field is Drill-DownEmpty page, no visual selected with Tooltips on. Tooltip = DrilldownMatrix. No "Tooltip"-field No1., Tooltip = Drill down.
