Report page tooltip

When creating report visuals, their look is modified by dragging the dimensions and measures into different fields within the Visuals panel. One of the visuals fields is called Tooltip, and by adding values to this field we could see them as an additional clarification of report series after we position the mouse over them. Power BI Desktop now has the ability to add entire charts that behaves as a tooltip.

In order to implement this functionality, i.e. creating a chart that clarifies another chart, first let’s create a report on the first page that displays turnover by quantity in relation to the name of the article. How do we further see turnover by type of partner? We’ll add a new report page, and then create a visual that shows turnover by partner type. Then we should change a format of to a Pie Chart. Further the page of the report should be formatted. We will change page dimensions, e.g. on 320x200px. Then, in the Page Information section we will turn on an option that indicates that this page will be displayed as a tooltip.

After we have created the second report, we will return to the first and in the Tooltip section mark the second page as a tooltip to clarify the first report. Now, when we move the mouse over the series, a chart will be displayed.
