Help Text available in bar chart without caption
Dear Qlikview user
I would like to know if there is a simple way to show the Help Text hover over for a bar chart without having the caption turned on, nor creating extra objects?
Kind Regards
Helen

Hi Helen,
To the best of my knowledge, there is no way to show the help text of a bar chart without displaying it's caption. However, strictly spoken, there is a solution to your question.
SPOILER ALERT: horrible idea ahead
There is this:
- Add an expression to your bar chart with your help text in the definition.
- For "Display options", choose "Text as Pop-up"
If users hover over one of the bars (so not the object) it will show the help text, along with any other pop-up information.
I think it looks terrible, and would not gererally recommend it, however there might be circumstances in which it can be of help.
Please find the qvd i used attached.
With kind regards,
Ronald

I don't think whether we can achieve with out Help Search in Caption Tab and then Objects. Could be possible only these options.

Hello Ronald
Thank you for your suggestion as in this particular instance this technique could work for me as I always just displaying one single bar, therefore it actually suits my bar chart
Thank you for the suggestion

I guess that would be an appropriate use case, indeed.
