Tooltips in overlapping charts

[shreyag12]

Hi,

I have one combo chart (line and clustered column chart) and on top of the chart I have a scatter plot .

I want to show tooltips on both the charts but can only see tooltip of the scatter plot(the black traingles) and not of the combo chart.

Does someone have an idea, how both tooltips can be made visible.

Thanks in advance.

Hi @shreyag12,

Since you are really trying to achieve display of multiple chart types (clustered columns, line and triangle marker) in a single chart, you can do that by using custom visuals.

Below link shows multiple combinations for charts like the one you seek:

Line, cluster column and scatter chart, PBIVizEdit.comLine, cluster column and scatter chart, PBIVizEdit.com

In case, the visuals in the link do not solve your query, you can try PBIVizedit custom editor which is a GUI based click/select (no coding) tool and create your desired visual.

Thanks,

Hi @shreyag12 

I don't think this can be done with standard visualisations. When you stack two visualisations on top of one another tooltips are only shows for the topmost visualisation (the top of the z-order). You can adjust the order with the selection pane in Power BI Desktop.  This may work if both visualisations don't completely overlap one another, alternatively you could do something by setting a bookmark with one visualisation on top and another bookmark with the other visualisation on top. These bookmarks could them be switched between with a button, to alternate which tooltips are seen. But unless you use a single visualisation (probably in this instance a custom visualisation like charticulator or debeb) you won't get tooltips from two overlapping visualisations shown at once.

Hope this helps
