    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.
