Add a Tooltip in Power Bi.
Using Tooltips in Power BI can enhance data presentation and maintain brand consistency, so lets have a look at how to add Tooltips in Power BI to help make your data look more visually appealing as well as informative.
Understanding Standard Tooltips:
Standard tooltips display basic information when hovering over data points. For example, hovering over Bitcoin data shows the number of wallets and their values.
Creating a New Tooltip Page:
To create a customized tooltip, add a new page in Power BI and name it. This page will be formatted specifically for tooltips.
Adjusting Canvas Size:
Change the canvas size to match the tooltip dimensions. Go to the format settings of the report page, find the canvas settings, and select the tooltip size option.
Designing the Tooltip Content:
Decide what information to display in the tooltip. For example, include price, wallet size, wallet count, and date. Copy existing visuals to the new tooltip page and adjust them accordingly.
Customizing Background and Visuals:
Change the background color of the tooltip to match your branding. You can also adjust the size and style of the visuals (e.g., cards, charts) used in the tooltip.
Linking the Tooltip to a Chart:
Select the chart you want to associate with the tooltip. In the format settings, navigate to the tooltip section and set it to use the newly created tooltip page.
Final Adjustments and Testing:
After linking, test the tooltip by hovering over the chart to ensure it displays the correct information, such as price, date, and wallet counts. Adjust formatting as necessary.
