Visual header tooltip / Report page / keep filter on visual
Hi, Anonymous
As of now , Microsoft has not provided other alternative solutions. The best way is to use the regular tooltip instead of the visual header tooltip.
Here is the explanation and suggestion given by the Microsoft team:
"By Design. Hovering over a data point for a report-page tooltip will pass the data point as filter context. Hovering over the header for a report-page tooltip does not have any inherent datapoint to create filter context, and will not pass any filter context through. The header tooltip was intended to be used for static content, and the report page tooltip option is a way to allow rich static content."

Hi Pragati, Thanks for your answer! The regular tooltip already works with the use of a visual level filter on it, even without the data check with only the filter on visual level. What I do is that I slide the description from the description-table into the visual that needs the filter on the tooltip. This works for the regular tooltip, but not for the visual header tooltip. It seems to me that the behaviour of the regular tooltip and the visual header tooltip differs in such a way that the regular tooltips takes the filter from the visual to the tooltip_page and the visual header tooltip does not. This might even be obvious but it was not what I hoped for and I'm still looking for a alternative if available (without the use of the regular tooltip-section).
