Is there any solution to show a tooltip in a Pivot, Table or Table Straight chart?

Hi there,

I'm looking for any solution to show the following example but using a Table, Table Straight or Pivot chart:

  • Data
Data:
Load
*
Inline [
Product, Concept, Date, Amount
A,Shipments,2026-04-01,1000
A,Shipments,2026-05-01,500
A,Shipments,2026-06-01,1000
A,Shipments,2026-07-01,1000
A,Shipments,2026-08-01,800
A,Forecast,2026-08-01,200
A,Forecast,2026-09-01,1000
A,Forecast,2026-10-01,1000
];
 
  • Example of tooltip solution. In this example I have a Bar chart configured to show a Master Visualization with more detail about the figure each barch shows. At the end I want to have a tooltip to visualize from where are coming the aggregated values filtering by date.

  • I checked if Pibot, Table or Table Straight charts include this functionality but they don't. Thus, if I would like to show something like that, how can I do it?

I just want to show the same detail I'm showing with the Bar chart but using any of the Table flavours we have in Qlik.

Thanks in advance

Hi

Yes — but there is an important limitation in Qlik Sense: native Straight Table, Pivot Table, and Table objects don't provide the same native custom tooltip / Master Visualization tooltip capability that a Bar Chart can use.

Try this extension

Hi @Chanty4u 

First of all, many thanks for your reply. I appreciate it.

However, that's not what I'm looking for. So far I was able to test, this extension works at column header level and I need it at cell value level. I tested it and like I mentioned, it is not showing me the values that I want:

Again, thanks!!!

If memory serves, Vizlib's objects offer this functionality, though those particular extensions are not free.

Did you try dual() ? Like: dual(sum(Value) & chr(10) & other calculations, sum(Value))

Hi @marcus_sommer 

I need to split an aggregated value by two dimensions: Date and Concept.

I would say that I can't do that using Dual() function.

At the end, using Leitart Data+ Table extension I was able to obtain something, although it's not exactly what I want.

Thanks

In general it would be possible to add also complex calculations with a table-like appearence within the string-part of a dual() for example with a concat(aggr(...., Dim), ' + '). But I don't want to recommeded such an approach because it needs some efforts and extra performance. IMO better is mostly to keep the views as simple as possible even if it needs 3 sheets and 12 visuals more to provide all wanted information.
