Using a table in tooltip

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I'm showing a table as a hover over tooltip.

The table has 50 names(rows) and has a single column.

Since i cannot scroll over the tooltip table i want the table to continue on the right.

Any workaround would also be appreciated.

@Anonymous You can't scroll on the tooltip, In other words you can't move your cursor to tooltip while accessing it. Tooltip is for showing any precise information but not for very detailed information. So it does make sense not allowing scrolling on tooltip. But I agree it should be smart enough by not showing the scroolbar on the tooltip if it is very large table (similar to your case).

Hi @Anonymous 

Not sure if you’d like to show the tooltip like this:

If so, you can follow below steps:

1.Create a report tooltip page, change the page size as tooltip, and the fill it with data.

1. Turn the Tooltip slider to On, in the Page Information card, to make the page a tooltip.
2. To set a tooltip manually, select the visual for which you want to specify the manual tooltip, then in the Visualizations pane, select the Format section and expand the Tooltip card.
3. Then, in the Page dropdown, select the tooltip page you want to use for the selected visual. Note that only report pages that are specified as Tooltip pages show up in the dialog.

Please refer to the official document for more details: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/desktop-tooltips

Hi Dina Ye, Thanks for the reply. So I know how to setup the tooltip and I have already done that. However, as you see in your screenshot as well, there is a slider in the tooltip. You can slide the tooltip slicer below to see all the rows. I'm looking for a way by which I can show all tooltip values on a single tooltip page. Therefore I was thinking of ways that could make the table flow horizontally after reaching the last line.

Hi @Anonymous 

Based on my research, if you’d like to scroll over the tooltip in the visual, it’s not accessible currently.

You can vote the idea same as yours in the portal: https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/33620479-tooltips

Alternatively, you can use drill through feature instead of tooltip:
