Hey All,
My matrix shows Stores by buildings.
The Building field is the building code, and not the description because it's too long.
This is my matrix:
Is there an option to hover over the column header(b01, b02...) and it will dynamicly show the long building description(Other field)?
this is a data sample:
| Value | Building | Description | Store |
| 129792 | B01 | Very Long Description 1 | Store 01 |
| 91456 | B02 | Very Long Description 2 | Store 01 |
| 127007 | B03 | Very Long Description 3 | Store 01 |
| 158859 | B04 | Very Long Description 4 | Store 04 |
| 187225 | B05 | Very Long Description 5 | Store 04 |
| 107301 | B06 | Very Long Description 6 | Store 04 |
| 31558 | B07 | Very Long Description 7 | Store 07 |
| 261652 | B08 | Very Long Description 8 | Store 08 |
| 644440 | B01 | Very Long Description 1 | Store 07 |
| 61652 | B05 | Very Long Description 5 | Store 08 |
Thank you very much!
This is a frequent problem for me as well. I wish they do something about it. Is there a post related to this in Ideas?
@Anonymous,
Try the following:
1. Create a report page for the visual to be displayed as a tool tip. In the Format tab (page level), name the page and set the following options:
On this report page, create the visual to be displayed as a tooltip:
2. In the matrix (where you want the tooltip to display), go to Format —> Tooltip, set to On, and select the page that contains the tooltip visual:
3. Hover over a value in the matrix to display the tooltip:

Hey @DataInsights ,
Thanks for the answer, but this is not what I was looking for.
In my opinion Tooltip over every Value is really annoying.
What I was trying to get is Hover only over the Column header.
If i'll hover B01, I'll get the Tooltip "Very Long Description 1", The same for B02 and the others.
Thanks
