Tooltip for whole chart/table etc

Hi,   I'm new to PowerBi and still finding my way around. What I would like to do if possible is to use the tooltip feature to show a pop up on mouse rollover, not for individual data points / bars...

    Hi 44Bailey,

     

    A way you could approach this is to create a new measure what has the text of the info you need.

     

    You can use a button and then set an action to that button as page navigation with none as the page selection. Hit the Fx button next to the tooltip and choose the measure. Then when you hover over this the text is diplayed.

     

     

    If you need a larger amount of info, another way would be to setup a report page tooltip. This way you can create a new report page with lots of text or whatever you want and use this as a tooltip for hover over. I've supplied a link to show how to do this as this guide is a bit longer.

    Hope this help
