Using a hover tooltip with a shape

I have a shape that has conditional formatting for the fill colour based off a status (Red, yellow, green).  This works as expected.  I'd like to be able to allow users to hover over the shape and see a tooltip pop up that explains why the status is what it is.  I have ToolTip that displays this info as expected.  However, I cannot figure out how to enable the ToolTip to be displayed when I hover.  Do I need to make this a visual instead of a shape?

now for shape, i dont think you can add a tooltip for it .

 

 

but what you can do , is add a tooltip like this for shapes  :

you can use some dax code for the tooltip to be dynamic .

 

 

 

let me know if that works for you .
