tooltip for only one column
I have data table with multiple columns. I created a tooltip text to display the description for one column but is displaying when mouse over for all columns.
Please let me know how to display the tooltip when mouse over on the one particular column.

Hello kkk73 ,
You could refer to the video: Power BI Custom Visuals - Dynamic Tooltip by MAQ Software
I'm not allowed to install any extentions on the system. I'm looking for alternation solution.
Hi, kkk73
AFAIK, the default tooltip and custom tooltip report page also trace the row context instead of specific column/cell.
So I think current it not able to only responded when you mouse hover on specific columns in the table visual.Best Regards,

Please let me know if there is any alternate way to display comments other than tooltip.
Hi kkk73
There is no such option available under tooltip. You cant customize for different columns tooltip. Tooltip is consider for whole visual.You have to take that column(1 column) in seperate table and add tooltip to it.
If my post helps please give kudos and accept it as a solution!
ThanksAs an alternative, if the chart will remain static, you could place a blank/empty image over the part of the chart where that column is so that when someone hovers over it, they are hovering over the image, and you can assign that to have the custom tooltip you want.
Not ideal, and won't work well if the chart is sliceable or subject to filtering taht changes where various items appear, but again, if static, it's a plausible workaround.
