Pie Chart - Live Data Connection

Hi, 

I'm trying to modify an existing dashboard visual (live connection) that currently shows sales ($value) by customer service rep. It is represented via a pie chart. Our customer service reps would like for me to add to this visual the total number of actual sales orders that a specific rep has taken. Currently, when you hover over the pie chart visual it shows the employees name and Net amount $, but i'd like for the third item to show number of orders. 

I am very new to Power BI, having only been exposed to it within the last few months, so i'm not sure that this is even something that is possible?

 

thanks!

Yes. You just add the value you want shown in the Tooltip section of the Pie Chart. This pie chart shows total net sales, but I added [total units] to the tooltip section and it shows up when you hover over it.
