Tooltips Matrix Column Header

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:

 

ValueBuildingDescriptionStore
129792B01Very Long Description 1Store 01
91456B02Very Long Description 2Store 01
127007B03Very Long Description 3Store 01
158859B04Very Long Description 4Store 04
187225B05Very Long Description 5Store 04
107301B06Very Long Description 6Store 04

261652B08Very Long Description 8Store 08
644440B01Very Long Description 1Store 07
61652B05Very Long Description 5Store 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
