Multiple Text as Popup expressions in separate pop ups

Thu, 05 Feb 2015 17:47:33 GMT

I have a chart using Alternate States to populate 2 bars. The 2 bar values i have rounded to thousands or millions for simplicity but i want to use the 'Text as Pop Up' feature to show the actual values. I have created 2 expressions corresponding to the 2 bar expressions to show the actual values. The issue is that my 2 pop up value expressions are appearing together in the same pop up box when i hover over each bar. (see screen shot). What i'm trying to get is where when i hover over the brown bar on the left, it shows just the value for Period 1 and when i hover over the blue bar on the right i see only the Period 2 value.

Is there a way to do this? I feel like there should be an 'if' statement at the beginning of the expression that controls when it shows but i'm not sure what to put in there.

Maybe you could use a special expression as popup. That meant: turn off the quick-info from your first expression and create an additional expression which returned your wished popup-values and turn off the view as bar and enable the quick-info for these expression. With these approach you could provide a lot more information as with a visible expression.

If I understand you correctly, that is what I've done. But I have 2 separate expressions for the pop up values and they are combining into one pop up box. I want them separated so that only the expression that corresponds with the bar value appears.

I believe there isn't a direct possibility but maybe you could use as workaround two bar-charts which are overlapping eachother.

Thanks, I considered that but it sounded like a maintenance nightmare.

I think I'll try to talk my users into being happy with this the way it is, but keep this as an option if they won't go for it.
