Report page tooltop showing on every field

Good morning,

I have followed the instructions on Using report tooltips based on report pages. In particular, I have specified that I only want the “page tooltip” to show when I hover over the Description field. I have screenshot my settings below. Problem: my tool tip is showing no matter which field I hover on. Question: can anyone please tell me what I could be doing incorrectly?

Best regards,
Michelle

Hi @michellepace, I noticed you didn’t provide a PBIX file. Providing one will help users and experts find a solution to your inquiry faster and better.

A perfect initial question includes all of the following:

  • A clear explanation of the problem you are experiencing

  • A mockup of the results you want to achieve

  • Your current work-in-progress PBIX file

  • Your underlying data file (to allow us to go into Power Query if necessary to transform your data and/or data model – often DAX questions really end up being data modeling solutions)

Check out this thread on Tools and Techniques for Providing PBIX Files with Your Forum Questions

Not completing your data may sometimes cause delay in getting an answer.

Hi @michellepace,

I don’t think you can choose a specific columns to display the tooltip.

One trick I’ve already used is to place a blank button above the columns of your table.
Then people will not be able to click or hover above the columns with the blank button.

Unfortunately your ToolTip will show on every column/row, I’m awaiting the day when an update will come out resolving this.

I did have a similar scenario and I added an additional column in the matrix & shrunk it down quite small so you had to hover to get the full message rather than a ToolTip. Not ideal but it worked well enough.
