Incorporating Meta Data

Dear all,

Is there a way to include info on data in the graphs?

Ideally I would require to add a field (description) to the detail of a graph so when someone hovers over the field, he not only sees the name and the result of the expression but also the field name 'description' and the record corresponding to that particular dimension element.

f.e: I have financial results for all my departements and when I hover over the departement I not only see the name and the result of the expression but also a description.

I was convinced that by adding it to comment or so I could add it but apparently not.

Is this possible? If yes, How?

Thank you in advance,

K

Attached is an example of a bar chart that adds the DeptDescription to the popup. You do this by adding additional "extra" expressions. For the extra expression, uncheck "Bar" and check "Text as Popup".

You could use text boxes with conditional shows on them.  When you click an info button the text boxes could appear over certain areas of the chart giving more detail.
