Tooltips against each cell of a Straight Table

[somenathroy]

Dear All,

I have a table like ,

Item	Description	Quantity
A	Book	10
B	Pen	12
C	Notebook	14
D	Pencil	16

I need to create a Straight Table which will show Item wise sum(Quantity). I don't have any option to include 'Description' field in dimension list.

But I want to show Description of an Item as ToolTips or any HelpText kind of things. Whenever a user hovers mouse pointer to a Item cell, a small popup containing description of the item needs to be shown.

Is it possibele in QV10?

Any help would be highly appreceated.

Thanks & Regards,

Somnath.

Hi,

in pivot/straight table, i don't think we have an option to show pop up on data items while in other graphical charts such as bar chart we have option to pop up text.

In straight/pivot table either you can use help text or comment text which can show pop up but that will not be on the data items.

I was looking for the same function, without finding. However, please refer to the latest answer to the thread here, which I find creative and in some cases very satisfying.
