Apply Tooltip to only ONE measure

Hello everyone,

I built a Line Chart with two measures for Current Year (CY) and Previous Year (PY).

I would like to add a tooltip with some custom and dynamic information ONLY to the CY line.  However, the tooltip is shown when I place the cursor on both CY and PY data causing misleading information.

Is there a way to add the tooltip to just one line of the chart?

Thank you very much,

Tommaso

Hello,

 

It seems that natively this is not possible, because tooltip is configured on the entire chart and not on individual measures. You have the option to have a Basic tooltip and you have the option to have Custom tooltip, however in both use case scenarios the tooltip is going to be displayed on all the measures. There is no option to disable it entirely for a specific measure or for the whole chart. You can submit a feature request [1], if you would like to have it natively and you can specify that you would like to have an option to set the condition for the tooltip. This will allow you to provide a condition, which when true will show the tooltip and otherwise it won't. 

 

I hope that this information was helpful. In case I have misunderstood the use case scenario, please elaborated in detail by providing additional information.
