Frame Hover Over

Good day,

 

I have a scorecard of 10 frames, each representing a KPI,

1. is it possible somehow to make the frame hover over to have a shadow

2. While also showing frame hover, allow it to show tooltip/oobjects like allow button press/dateslicer etc still when interacting with the visual within the frame?

My idea is to highlight which visual the user is focusing on?

Regards

    Hi icassiem ,
    So what you can do right now is;

    1. Frame Hover Shadow: Power BI doesn’t natively let you add a shadow or highlight effect just on hover for card or KPI visuals. The closest workaround is to use a shape or button behind your visual with a conditional formatting rule (like changing color based on selection), but true hover-only shadow isn’t available yet.

     

    2. Interactive Tooltip Objects (Buttons, Slicers): Standard Power BI tooltips can show info, but they can’t include interactive objects like buttons or slicers that users can click or change. Tooltips are for display only; they don’t support input.

    Possible Workarounds:

    • You can use Bookmarks or Selection Pane tricks: Layer a highlighted frame version (with shadow effect using shapes) on top, then use buttons or selection to toggle which one is shown. Not true “hover,” but can simulate focus.

    • For interactivity, consider placing your KPI visuals inside buttons with “Action” turned on, so clicking can reveal new pages or popups with more interactive elements.

      Thank You rohit1991 , the frame hover won't work as I have a few visuals within the frame and disguising the frame as a button for hover will only work once navigating, but all the visuals ahead of the disguised buttons will take the hover off once past the border of the button
