A tooltip is created in QlikView when there is not enough space to display all the text so if the column header is a single row then a tooltip will appear if you have the following column label:

='Label
This is Label tooltip'

or

='Label' &chr(13)& 'This is Label tooltip'

And I hope the ... doesn't bother you.

Regards.

Thank for your replied.

Let see for the full text in column header is "This is Tooltip", but I want to put only "TT" in column header instead of "This is Tooltip". When we take mouse over the "TT" then the text appear "This is Tooltip".

I don't know how to do this. Please help.

Making the label,

='TT' & chr(13) & 'This is a Tooltip'

doesn't give you what you want?

I use this workaround because, as far as I know, there is no tooltip attribute associated to labels in the properties of an object.

Hi

You have shared me the good way to create tooltip in column header. But when I use your solution I got the column header two line, first line is "TT" and second line is "This is Tooltip". What I want is only "TT".

Thanks and Best Regards,

Aaah..understood. So try

='TT' & chr(13) & chr(13) & 'This is a Tooltip'

or add as many chr(13) as column header lines you have.

Regards.
