Explore the ToolTip option in the Appearance

Hi skamath,

Tool tip is not acceptable by business as that is an extra component on the sheet. Is there anyway we can display the description upon hovering on a chart?

[skamath1]

Tool tips will not a extra component. It is part of properties of the chart object. 

When you add custom tooltip to the chart property, it will be displayed when you hover your mouse on the chart.

These all videos shows how to add dimension or measures to the tool tip. My requirement is different, I wanted to display some description when hover on a chart object. Can you please list the steps or attach sample app how to do that?

You can add the description to the title of the tooltip.. 

if you want to show string description,  use  = 'This is sample description in tooltip'   in the title expression of the tooltip.

yes but that gets displayed when I hover over a dimension. Requirement is to show description when hover on the chart left or right not only dimension because then it look like that description is for the dimension not the whole chart. Thanks
