how to show bar chart or pie chart as a tooltip

[sridhar_m]

Dear Friends,

Actually I would like to show pie chart or bar chart or any other useful visual as a tooltip (like Tableau & PowerBI)

Kindly suggest.

Hello Sri,

Could you explain what you want in more detail? When should the tooltip be displayed?

Thanks,

Sam

Dear Sam,

Please find the attached PowerBI doc for your reference and let me know your valuable suggestions on this.

Thanks for providing an example!

If I understand correctly, the feature you want is a "data tip" for each bar or pie segment when you move the cursor over that element. Is that correct?

VA does provide data tips, and in recent versions of VA you can add variables to the Data Tip Values role to display those values. Here is an example:

If the chart is maximized, we also display a summary data table below the chart.

Is this the sort of thing you are looking for?

Another option to explore the data for a selected slice of a pie chart would be to create a List Table object that is filtered by the pie chart. This would enable you to see individual rows of detail data.

Thanks,

Sam

Dear Sam,

Thank you for your detailed explanation. But the thing is Data tip is different than the Tool Tip.
It is like when even you mouse hover on any data points on any existing report it should show tool tip as a "Report" (it may be any kind like pie, bar, list, crosstab or any detailed report related to that data item).

Thanks for the additional clarification.

I will see if someone more familiar with Tableau / PowerBI can help.

Dear Sam,

Yes, you are right. I am not sure may be this kind of similary is there in SAS Visual Analytics or not. 

I am experienced even PowerBI/Tableau too.

Hey @sridhar_m,

You can achieve what you're looking for in SAS Visual Analytics using the Pop-up Window capability. Here is the documentation page for Visual Analytics 8.4.

Starting with a Pie chart showing Adverse Capital Ration by LoB.

Starting with a pie chart

Double click on a LoB, "Energy" for example...

dbl-click on a pie wedge, in this case "Energy", and have a custom pop-up window displayed.

and a custom pop-up window is displayed based on the selected LoB (pie wedge).

Here is the report in design mode:

From the pie chart page, I link to the hidden "Detailed Info" page.

and build the custom pop-up window I want to see for the pie chart. 

Hope this helps!

Dear Robby,

Thank you very much for your detailed explanation. Yes, here you have provided as a pagelink. Agree. But it's not similar as PowerBI & Tableau.
You have mentioned that when ever you double click on that particular item new page link you have provided. I think it's not yet implemented in SAS Visual Analytics.
Cheers,

Correct, the report is designed with the pop-up window as a page link; however, it is indeed a pop-up window. I'm interested to understand the difference you see. Is your concern that it requires a dbl-click rather than hover?

dbl-click on a pie wedge, in this case "Energy", and have a custom pop-up window displayed.

Dear Robby,

No, It is different than mouse hover on Energy automatically it should show rather than double click on Energy.

Thanks & Regards,
Sri

Hi Sridhar,

You can use a prompt container to show bar charts in the similar format to a tool tip
