RE: Visuals Help

Couldn't agree more. I'm trying to use the Microsoft Histogram visual from the market place. It has two input boxes - Values and Frequency. The tooltips for these say "Values" and "Frequency". I'm reduced to trying to figure out what is expected in "Frequency" by dragging random things into it and comparing it against what i expect to see. Very poor user experience. Why not provide a standard 'help' icon for each visual that links to a page of documentation?

Yes, additional tip info would be great. Like the "Tip" text available at https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-service-visualization-types-for-reports-and-q-and-a/
