Custom "tooltips" when hovering over a point on a visual. Month after month, I am required to offer Analysis & Actions narrative for how we're performing. It would be nice to see this by hovering over a point on a visual rather than take up valuable real estate with a text box.

We added report page tooltips back in March to support this. You can learn more my blog post here: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/power-bi-desktop-march-2018-feature-summary/ It's currently in preview, but we have plans to add support for table and matrix, and shortly after make the feature generally available. At that point, I'll close this idea.

I have a customer who is asking for this.

Tableau has this and it's an incredibly useful capability. A great way to dynamically present more details on a specific user selected topic.

This is a brilliant idea. Wish someone had thought of it earlier. Our senior managers asked me how they could see notes specific to a chart on their mobile. It is critical because management needs to see underlying notes in case they misinterpret the figures.
