Key Features
Your chart has 5 series with different colors, line styles, and markers — hovering shows a generic tooltip with no formatting context. Building a proper canvas tooltip means creating a series metadata table, writing multiple DAX measures for value lookup, icon mapping, color binding, and display logic, designing a tooltip page, then wiring it all to the source visual. This skill reads your chart, extracts everything, and builds the complete infrastructure in one command — run it with /create-tooltip.
How it works
Type /create-tooltip, point it to your chart visual and provide a prefix name, and the skill builds everything:
Locates the target visual and reads its chart type (line, combo, column, bar, area)
Extracts all measures from the value wells and tooltips field wells
Reads series colors and line styles per series
Maps each series to a Unicode icon based on its visual style
Builds an ordered series list with colors, icons, and sort keys
Creates a calculated table with series metadata
Creates 5-7 DAX measures for value lookup, data presence, icon display, color binding, and display formatting
Creates a canvas tooltip page with date card, data table, and separator line — auto-sized to fit the series count
Wires the tooltip to the source visual
What you get
Calculated table — series metadata with name, color, type, and sort order columns
5-7 DAX measures — value lookup, data presence, icon display, color binding, display formatting, sort key, and optionally a comment measure for tooltips-well items
Canvas tooltip page — auto-sized, containing a date card, a formatted data table with icon, color, series name, and value columns, and a separator line
Visual wiring — tooltip reference added to the source chart
