Showing additional data values in tooltips

Use the Tooltip data slot to display additional measures when hovering over a point in the visualization.

About this task

Add additional data items into the Tooltip data slot as measures. These data items display as tooltips when hovering over a point in the visualization.

Some visualizations have multiple Tooltip slots for multiple data sets, and some do not have any Tooltip slots.

For example, the line and column visualization has one Tooltip slot for the line and one tooltip slot for the column, while the bullet visualization does not have any Tooltip slots.

You cannot add a measure to the Tooltip data slot if the measure is already used in the visualization. The dashboard ignores such measures as redundant items. If you need to display the measure again with a different data format, use a calculation and give it the appropriate data format.

Procedure

  1. Click a visualization that has a Tooltip data field.
  2. Click the Fields icon Fields pane icon to open the Fields pane.
  3. Drag the one or more measures with the corresponding values you want to show to the Tooltip data field.

    You can also click an empty Tooltip data field and select the measures that you want to display.
