Tooltip limit for Gantt chart

Hi, 

Recently when I used Gantt 2.2.3 chart in Power BI Desktop, I found that the maximum number of its tooltip is 3.

When I tried to put more fields in it, it will show the yellow line and seems not allow to add any fields in it

Is there any solution about it, or it is the limitation for itself, pls advise, thanks.

Hi @Mage ,

I'm sorry. Here's an alternative Solution : you can also try to create a calculated column, merge the columns you want to place in Tooltips with &&, and show them together:
Create calculated column.

 

Column 2 =
'Table'[date]&" - "&'Table'[date1]&" - "&'Table'[Column]

To Gantt 2.2.3 Chart tooltips, I went and looked at the design code for Gantt 2.2.3 Custom Visual Objects and I found that when he originally designed it that was the maximum limit of three.

Hi @Mage ,

Yes, I tried it, and like you said, you can only put three in the tooltip in the Gantt chart, which has always been the case.This seems to be a question of the Gantt 2.2.3 Chart design philosophy. You can put forward your ideas and vote from the following link:

Hi @v-xiandat-msft ,

Thanks for reply, but I tried to find any alternative solutions for the chart instead of provide an idea to consume unnecessary time.

 

Also, in the same situation that you have provided, I had seen it before and did not think the reply is suitable for my case, it said 'there is no limit to the number of tooltips that can be added to the Gantt chart' while actually the limitation seems to be 3.

 

If 'This seems to be a question of the Gantt 2.2.3 Chart design philosophy', whether there is any document or explanation for it.

 

Hopefully for your advise.

Mage
