Tooltips

Tooltips are pop-ups that appear on mouse-over events for chart data points. By default, tooltips display the data used to generate each point. For example, if a bar chart value is “100”, the tooltip shows “100”. You can customize tooltips by adding columns that map to other fields in the dataset.

To enable tooltips, follow these steps:

  1. Check the Tooltips box and click the chevron to expand the section.
  2. Click Add Column to map a dataset field to the tooltip.
  3. Select a column name from the dropdown.
  4. Choose an aggregation from Display Values As.
    Supported functions depend on the column type and include Sum, Average, Median, Count, Distinct Count, Minimum, Maximum, and Unique.
  5. Configure the Values Format:
    • Default – shows the full value (e.g., 1,234,567.89).
    • Abbreviated – shortens values to K (thousand), M (million), B (billion) (e.g., 1.24M).
    • Decimal – controls decimal display (e.g., 1,234,567.9 for 1 decimal place).
    • Currency – displays as currency (e.g., $1,234,567.89).
    • Percentage – shows as percent (e.g., 1,234,568%).
    • Scientific – uses exponential notation (e.g., 1e+6).
  6. Optional: Set a tooltip header by entering text in the Header box. You can use system tokens for further customization—type {{ in the Header input to see available tokens.

You can add multiple custom tooltip columns as needed.
