Custom tooltips for pivot table

Valstar — Tue, 12 Apr 2022 09:00:46 GMT

Will custom tooltips be made available for pivot tables? I desperately need this for my current project.

If it isn't already on the roadmap, please put it there. If it is, when is it expected?

This is a community forum... we can't put things on the roadmap. Try the Ideation section if you'd like to suggest a feature - https://community.qlik.com/t5/Ideation/ct-p/qlik-product-insight

Note that some extensions do offer the option to have a custom tooltip in a pivot table, for example Vizlib Pivot Table, so if it's urgent you may want to consider something like that as an option.

Thx, I followed your suggestion and posted it there.

I had a chat with a sales guy from vizlib and he said that they do not offer tooltips for pivot tables.

If anybody knows of a workaround or (free or paid) extension, input is welcome!

I can confirm that Vizlib Pivot does allow for a custom tooltip, both for dimensions and measures, but this does not include the ability to use master objects in the tooltip similar to what you can do in other Vizlib objects (and most Qlik objects nowadays). However you can use text, formulas, and a background color:

Not sure if that is sufficient for your requirements.

In any case, it'd be a good idea to link your Ideation post here - might get you a few extra likes and help it get picked up faster.

Thx Or, but that is not sufficient. I need a tooltip with a chart.
