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 etc, but for the whole report.

 

I would like to this this so that I can provide some narrative to the report and the calculation built in to the report.

 

Is this possible please?

 

Any advice greatly appreciated.

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.

Hi.

I have the following table: 

 

TipoSolpedTiempoAdicion
Nuevo2010 
OtrosiRQ15 
Proceso2015 
Proceso3015 
Proceso4015 
Proceso5015 
Nuevo3015 

I need, when the value in the column Tipo is "Nuevo", look in the same column on the other rows with the name "Proceso", the row that has the same value that the column "Solped" and then copy the value the column "Tiempo" and put in the column "adicion" in the row "nuevo"
