tool tip that wont sum

Hello,

 

I am using a waterfall chart for data that looks like this

Company SalesMonths a Customer
Walmart100,00020
Target100,50022
Safeway110,00028
Winco150,00019

 

What I am trying to do is use months a customer as a tool tip, but its being summed and there is not an option to dont summarize. How can I create a tool tip to accomplish this?

 

thank you!

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

For the sake of the tooltip,

I used Max or Ave instead of sum so it will still show the correct value

hover over one od the companies, then you can see how the months a customer is being summed 

When there is no date filter on the chart. And the chart also does not display dates separately. I think it is displaying correctly. Sales value is also added up.

 

Refer, if tooltip page can help you: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/desktop-tooltips

@amitchandak  hover over safeway in the left chart. 

 

see how the months a customer tool tip says 56?

 

It shouldnt be 56 it should be 28

 

Months a customer should not be summed up

i think creating a distinct DAX Measure works here 

 

= DISTINCT (Table[]months a customer]

@Anonymous , Seems like you got the solution, yourself.  Do you need more input?
