Tooltips not showing on line in a line and bar chart

Hi Everyone,

 

I have a standard line and bar chart (please see below). I created a customised tooltip to show the breakdown of the datapoint, e.g. if users hover one a bar or a marker it will show the breakdown of pointed data. However it seems working fine on the bars but not on the line markers. It alwas show bar data value.  I tried to enlarge the marker size but not working neither. 

 

Could you please help? Thanks.

Hi @Anonymous,

 

Here is Line and clustered column chart With Custom Tooltip which will help you to get different tooltip for each Line and bar chart.

This was made with our Custom Visual creator tool PBIVizEdit.com. With this tool,

  • anyone, irrespective of technical skills, can create their own visuals
  • 15 minutes to create a visual from scratch
  • opens up many additional attributes to edit (for e.g. labels, tooltips, legends position, etc)

Give this a shot and let us know if you face any problem/errors.
You can use the editor to modify your visual further (some modifications cannot be done in Power BI window and have to be in editor).

Thanks,
Team PBIVizEdit

@Anonymous , Both Bar and line should pass year/FY value to the tooltip. Unless you have a legend. The line will not pass legend information
