Custom "tooltips" when hovering over a point on a visual. Month after month, I am required to offer Analysis & Actions narrative for how we're performing. It would be nice to see this by hovering over a point on a visual rather than take up valuable real estate with a text box.

We added report page tooltips back in March to support this. You can learn more my blog post here: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/power-bi-desktop-march-2018-feature-summary/ It's currently in preview, but we have plans to add support for table and matrix, and shortly after make the feature generally available. At that point, I'll close this idea.

RE: Custom Tooltips on Hover
I just posted a detailed scenario similar to this as a comment on this idea: https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/7580157-tooltip-customization-on-reports
RE: Custom Tooltips on Hover
Yes, an essential update needed. It would make reports more understandable and impressive.
RE: Custom Tooltips on Hover
In general, tooltips are underdeveloped yet they are a very important part of a UI. A matrix may have many rows and columns and the tool tip is...the same as the row text or column text with no option to attach a helpful explanation. It would be very helpful to us report and dashboard developers to be able to "amplify" a field or metric name etc. etc.
RE: Custom Tooltips on Hover
Any update in whether this is being considered. As mentioned Tableau have it and it is extremely engaging and users love it.
RE: Custom Tooltips on Hover
It would be nice to also show any text field in the tooltip as well.
RE: Custom Tooltips on Hover
Being able to add any text field as a component of a tooltip would be incredibly helpful!!
1+ Colin for the (...) ellipsis to expand a larger memo field
RE: Custom Tooltips on Hover
id like to see this more as a Title (tooltip) with an ellipsis to expand to a larger textbook type explanation or a ? for a custom help text
RE: Custom Tooltips on Hover
I have a customer who is asking for this.
RE: Custom Tooltips on Hover
Tableau has this and it's an incredibly useful capability. A great way to dynamically present more details on a specific user selected topic.
RE: Custom Tooltips on Hover
This is a brilliant idea. Wish someone had thought of it earlier. Our senior managers asked me how they could see notes specific to a chart on their mobile. It is critical because management needs to see underlying notes in case they misinterpret the figures.
