Can you be more specific with your question.

Where do you want the pop-up text to show - in a chart, on its own?
What activates the pop-up?

hi,

try:

Define Your Pop-Ups

On an object like a Chart you can, on the Caption tab, bottom right, enter Help Text. This puts a ? on the Caption and one can hover over it to see the Help Text.

This does not need a macro.

You use an expression in the Conditional Show option on the text box properties, Layout tab.

Use the Conditional Show expression.

If( GetFieldSelections(YourFieldName) >0, 0, 1)

This will hide the text if nothing is selected in YourFieldName.
