Power BI, by default showing the selected fields in the report tooltip. There should be a option to discard/add fields from the tooltip. e.g It shows Index column in Map visualization, which can be discarded.

I'm sorry for the delay in updating this idea, but we have in fact made custom report page tooltips generally available as of the September release of Power BI Desktop. You can read the details in this blog post: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/power-bi-desktop-september-2018-feature-summary/#tooltips Be sure to vote on other tooltip suggestions on UserVoice if you have any other specific requests.

RE: Tooltip customization on reports

Agree with other comments. This is idea is only partially completed. Still need the ability to remove tool tip default values.

RE: Tooltip customization on reports

Can you please reopen this vote/issue? It's only half completed unfortunately. I was sad to learn you can add but not remove fields from the Tooltip.... I have a scatter chart with a highlight function needing a Flag field. For the report end user this is a totally irrelevant field and value.

RE: Tooltip customization on reports

This is not completed. What you have added it tooltip pages. I still can't customise the content of the basic tooltip - simple things like being able to rearrange the fields in the tootlip or remove irrelevant fields from the tooltip.

RE: Tooltip customization on reports

While I appreciate we now have custom tooltip pages and you can add to the tooltip fields, we should be able to prevent certain fields from showing in the standard tooltip. Adding tooltip pages isn't the same thing.

RE: Tooltip customization on reports

Customer get confused as we mostly use Index No so that we can sort the data. Which is displayed and create a buzz

RE: Tooltip customization on reports

Let the tooltip box size be customizable. If I want a description it gets cut off because the box is not wide enough.

RE: Tooltip customization on reports

I have a demo tomorrow and I am SO sad this isn't possible, burned by power bi's low price popularity and unfinished state again...
