HOW TO CREATE CUSTOM TOOLTIP IN POWERBI

A custom tooltip in Power BI is a user-defined report page designed to display additional, contextual information when a user hovers over a visual element (such as a bar, line, or data point) in another report page. To create a custom tooltip;

1. Add a new page and go to canvas setting, change the page type to tool tip

2. Change the vertical alignment to the middle

3. Add a text box to it and align it in the middle

4. Go to effects and turn on the visual boarder, give it a color, let’s say blue, add the rounded corners to 10

5. To add names for the profit, discount and gross sales, go to insert, button and click on blank

6. Click on style and enable the text (ON) and write profit

7. Enable visual boarders and give the shape the look and color you desire

8. Duplicate it and bring it down, go to style and change the text to discount.

9. Duplicate it and bring it down, go to style and change the text to Gross sales.

10. To properly align, select all, go to format, click on align and duplicate vertically

11. Next we add the card

12. Put the card in the text box and shrink it to same size as the button. Click on format painter to give it the same look as the buttons.

13. Click on the box, then go ahead and add the profit from the sample data set into it.

14. Go to format visual, call out value and reduce the font size to 12 to make it clear and concise

15. Turnoff the category label

16. Duplicate it, select each card and set it to the button figure, i.e Discount and Gross sales

17. Rename the page to tooltip1 for easier recognition

18. Add another page, click on stacked bar chart

19. In the dataset, click on sales and product

20. Go to visualizations, click on general, tool tip and under page, select tooltip1

21. Now, when you hover on any of the charts, you can see the profit, discount and gross sales.
