Tooltips for tables and matrix

I have a MTD and a YTD column in my table.

Is there a way of having different tooltips for each column within a table?

Thanks,
Luca

RE: Tooltips for tables and matrix

Hi Luca,

At the moment you cannot add a different tooltip for each column in a table.

Someone has suggested this as an improvement in the Power BI community. So far it only received 42 votes so I doubt the Microsoft Developers see it as an urgent matter.

However you could possibly create a series of table visuals each containing one column of data and organise- them so it looks like one table (filtering and sorting will be affected bear in mind).
This would then allow you to assign different tooltips to each of these columns so visually it looks like one table but factually it is several tables organised to look like one table.

Hope that helps

Kind regards
