Tooltips info in table visual
- 10 months ago
Hi Harika05,
Thank you for the follow up.
Based on my understanding, Power BI’s report page tooltips are associated with fields and report pages and derive their context from the data point over which you hover. However, the native Table visual highlights the entire row on hover, so Power BI cannot reliably determine which specific column or cell the cursor is positioned over. For this reason, it might not be possible to attach distinct tooltips to different columns within a single Table visual in a straightforward manner.
Kindly consider the following workarounds which may help resolve the issue:
1. Create a separate single column Table visual for each Flag (containing only that column), position them adjacent to one another, and format borders and headers so they appear as a single table. Assign a specific tooltip page to each one column visual. This approach works best when layout alignment is acceptable.2. Place all reason fields on a single tooltip page. This will display all reasons for the selected row. This is the simplest solution, but the user will see every reason rather than only the hovered one.
3. Use Matrix visual. The Matrix visual highlights a single cell on hover and therefore supports column level tooltip scenarios.
