Report page tooltips

The standard tooltips described in the previous section may be sufficient for most reporting scenarios. However, Power BI Desktop also provides report page tooltips that allow report authors to display a custom page of report visuals as an alternative to the default tooltips. The following steps can be used to configure a report page tooltip:

  1. Add a new blank report page to a report. 
  2. On the Format pane for the report page, enable the Tooltip property under the Page Information formatting card. 
  3. Also on the Format pane, specify a Tooltip page size per the following image:

  1. On the Tooltip page from step 3, set the Page View to Actual Size via the Page View icon on the View tab.
  2. From the Fields pane of the Tooltip page, drag a measure or multiple measures to the tooltip Fields field well:
    •  Columns can also be specified as tooltip fields (for example, Product Name)
  3. Create report visuals on the tooltip report page that relate to the tooltip field well measure(s) or column(s):
    • For example, if the tooltip page will support a sales measure, consider building visuals that display sales versus plan, budget, or sales growth measures
    • Given the limited size of the Tooltip report page, KPI and card visuals are recommended

By default, other visuals in the report that utilize the measure(s) or column(s) specified as tooltip fields in step 5 will display the tooltip report page when the user hovers over the items of the visual.

The Tooltip Page Size from step 3 is not required for utilizing tooltip report pages. However, this property makes the purpose of the page clear to the other report authors and has been provided by the Power BI team as at a good starting point for most report page tooltips. Likewise, viewing the report page tooltip in actual size per step 4 is technically not required but is very helpful in designing these pages.

Alternatively, a tooltip formatting card is available at the bottom of the Format pane for charts and map visuals. This formatting card can be used to specify a particular tooltip report page for the given visual or to disable tooltip report pages. If report page tooltips have been disabled for a visual, the visual will display the default tooltips as described in the previous section.
