Map tooltip always shows a count value when I need the actual value

I have a 'Map' visualisation which has Zipcode in the Location box. I want to add the full address into the Tooltips so that when I hover over the location on the map, I can see the full address of that zipcode. However, all I get is a count of the Address instead of the actual address. Does anyone know if it is possible to display the full address instead of a count?

 

Cheers for all help

Naz

You can create a measure like:

 

Measure = VALUES([Address])

And this will work as text in a tooltip.

Ah, I should have paid more attention to the forum this was in. No, you cannot create measures or columns in the Service. You would need to use Desktop.

Hi,

Thanks.  It is work for me.  I am learning about PowerBI, and I do not understand the reason of creating the measure.

Is it possible that somebody explain it to me?

 

Thanks a lot in advance.

Any idea how I do this in the online service? I cant seem to find any way to create measures/columns in the online service anywhere. Cheers
