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

This is really necesary. On maps I do not want to be showing the lat and long in the tooltips.

RE: Tooltip customization on reports

How is it possible that this still is not implemented? Adding text to tooltips, and removing things from tooltips, should be a must have feature and number one priority. Frustrating...

RE: Tooltip customization on reports

When i use average, the tool tip says like 85.0214577. Is there a way to limit the number of decimals?

RE: Tooltip customization on reports

I agree with everyone - really need string tooltips and the ability to sort.

RE: Tooltip customization on reports

Some of my figures are really difficult to read because we are not enable to change the number format in the tooltips. Please, make it possible !

RE: Tooltip customization on reports

Biggest problem I have is the height restriction results in data not shown. For example, if I have 10 lines on a line chart, the tooltip only shows about half of them :-((((((

RE: Tooltip customization on reports

If I have a line chart with 15 series lines, the tooltip doesn't show all series because it has some height restriction. That's bad because you can't see some data. Please make it possible to show all or set a custom tooltip height somehow.

RE: Tooltip customization on reports

A good example is Average of Latitude and Average of Longitude on the Map viz, it is not meaningful as a tooltip and adds clutter. We should be able to remove it.

I echo Enrico's comment. Would be great to have string tooltips
