Power BI, by default showing the selected fields in the report tooltip. There should be a option to discard/add fields from the tooltip. e.g It shows Index column in Map visualization, which can be discarded.

I'm sorry for the delay in updating this idea, but we have in fact made custom report page tooltips generally available as of the September release of Power BI Desktop. You can read the details in this blog post: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/power-bi-desktop-september-2018-feature-summary/#tooltips Be sure to vote on other tooltip suggestions on UserVoice if you have any other specific requests.

Please give developer control over the tooltip customization.

RE: Tooltip customization on reports

Please allow the ability to remove fields that are on charts but are not needed in the tooltip. Thanks

RE: Tooltip customization on reports

I agree with Greg: "Having Lat and Long on the map tooltip provides no real information and soaks up prime real-estate"

Please let us customize this tooltip option.

RE: Tooltip customization on reports

Agree that it would be nice to add/remove/order any & all tooltip values.

RE: Tooltip customization on reports

This feature exists in Tableau, it would be great to have it.

RE: Tooltip customization on reports

There are a great number of cases where the values in a chart (tree maps for example) could reveal personally identifiable information. This will prevent a lot of uses for this product.

RE: Tooltip customization on reports

Agreed - I don't want to show the Lat / Long fields in the tooltips (or the Legend field, necessarily). And I do need to embed an URL/hyperlink within the bubble - which might possibly require the ability to 'fix' the bubble visually (even if you mouse away from the datapoint) - or somehow allow the mouse to reach the hyperlink in the bubble.

RE: Tooltip customization on reports

Definitely need the ability to remove any default tooltips. Can't believe this isn't a feature already
