How to create a mouse-over over fields?

[#1]

Hi there,

Is there any way to create mouse-over over fields?

On mouse-over, i would like to show some related data instead of the field that i mouse-over. For example, upon mouse-over column 1's data, i would like to show column 2's data.

Thanks.

Hi Sushil,

I actually want to mouse-over the data. not the field header. Using your approach, i think is more for header right?

Steve, did you manage to solve your issue?

A possibility could be such meta-data to attach to fields or expressions like this:

= Area & chr(10) & If(Area = 'A', 'xxx', 'yyy')

= sum(value) & chr(10) & 'any text ...'

The result is not very nice, but perhaps it is suitable.

Marcus, thanks for you suggestion. Actually, I try to achieve a tooltip/mouseover for a dimension.

Hovering above OrderNumber should show the corresponding value in field "OrderDescription". That field contains some "free text" (can be 10 lines or more) which provides additional information on a specific order. It would be rather useful for my endusers to have a tooltip on each OrderNumer ...

Thanks!

It will not really better as this (table header are not multiline or less as line breaks):

= OrderNumber & chr(10) & OrderDescription

Thanks Marcus, this helps.

However, when I mouseover, the popup box appears over my cursor. Is there a way to position the popup such that my cursor won't block it?

Hi Mohit,

I'm using a personal edition and the recovery attempt has been exceeded.

Could you kindly help to explain how to achieve the feature?

Thanks.
