    Is there a way to format tooltips as well? To display values in tool tip such as thousands, or millions or billions

    RE: Formatting tooltips

    For visuals that show %s in tooltips such as 100% stacked charts and pie charts etc, I would like to be able to change the decimal places for the % shown. As far as I can tell there is no way to do this and you can't create a measure for this as PBI does this calculation automatically.

    RE: Formatting tooltips

    You can create a tooltip as a measure and format whatever metric you include:FORMAT( 0.742, "Percent")FORMAT( 1234.567, "$#,0.00)FORMAT( 1234.567, """US$"" #,0.00"FORMAT( DATE (2019,3,28), "yyy-mm-dd")FORMAT( DATE (2019,3,28), "m/d/yy")These are from dax.guide/format website.

    Surprised there are not more votes on this. I agree. I also found that tooltips don't always show up in the order shown in the designer/setup/field area.
