Paginated reports tooltip issue on Power BI service

[buhari91]

Hello Power BI Community,

I am converting SSRS report to Paginated reports and facing the challenge with tooltips:

As can be seen in below screenshot, I have 3 tooltips set on a single textbox which should provide tooltip on mouse hover event:

This tooltip is working fine on SSRS report as well on the Power BI report builder as can be seen below.

The issue is when I published this report on Power BI service, it do not show any tooltip on mouse hover event, or any other place on textbox.

Have anybody faced similar challenge with the tooltips on Paginated report before? Any help on resolving this issue would be appreciated.

Thank you in advance 🙂

Hi @buhari91 

When you opened the report in Service , is the tooltip button on?

@v-yetao1-msft I am using Power BI Report Builder to migrate SSRS to Paginated report. On Power BI, service I dont see any option to edit the report as can be seen on screenshot below:

Solution:  Don't use <Expression...> in Tooltip.

For example, use this:  

Not this:

I'm having the same issue.  We have a similar tooltip in the same "Header Rectangle" property on about 180 paginated reports, but suddenly last week it didn't work on a new one.  I tried Chrome & Edge; same result.

An old report, who's tooltip still works, doesn't use "<Expression...>" that we used because it was so simple (if you don't use certain special characters, it lets you just type the new tooltip right into the box).  Sure enough, doing that on the new report fixed it.

Why "Expression" doesn't work is a mystery.  I know it worked fine in prior months; we used "Expression" often and testing this is part of the QA process.
