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

  • 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.

      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

      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.
