Hi @Anonymous ,

It seems there existed empty values in field COMPETITOR_NAME, CUST_NUM, DISTANCE_COVERED, NETWORK_SIZE and so on, you can try to replace the empty values in these fields to null first. Then check whether these fields still display or not in default Tooltips when their values are blank. You can refer the following video to do it.

If ISBLANK, NULL or EMPTY in power query

Hi @Anonymous,

 

Sorry, I think I made a mistake.

Can it be that the values are empty and not NULL / BLANK?

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

I think if the data for the data points returned NULL (BLANK) they would not be shown in the tooltip.

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

can you filter on the data in the data view and check what the value e.g. for the first CUST_NUM is?

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

check in Power Query whether the column is empty...

empty_cell.png

... or null ...

NULL_cell.png

Try to replace the empty values with null values.
