Power BI Tooltips Behavior - I18n-RTL

[drewL20240531]

1. The tooltip will display to the right if visual is located on the left edge of the report page and display to the left if visual is located on the right edge. See below
2. Tooltip for visual when located on left edge -  
3. Tooltip for visual when located on left edge - 
4. In conclusion, the power bi tooltips will position the tooltips based on where the visual is and not with respect to LTR/RTL. Is this the expected behavior?

Hi @drewL20240531 ,

Yes, that is the expected behavior of Power BI tooltips. In Power BI, the positioning of tooltips is automatically determined based on the location of the visual on the report page to ensure optimal visibility. This behavior is independent of the text direction (LTR/RTL) in the report. This means that if a visual is located on the left edge of the report page, the tooltip will appear to the right of the visual, and if the visual is located on the right edge of the report page, the tooltip will appear to the left of the visual.

If you need to change the positioning of the tooltip based on the directionality of the text, you may need to use custom tooltips or other workarounds.
