Enhance Data Visualization with Dynamic Measure Value Tooltips in Tableau

 Dynamic Tooltips for Measure Values in Tableau

Scenario:

User needs to understand the what does the measure value mean and we need to show them within the tooltips. 

Here the chart displays, Sales and Profits over Years, so the audience should know what does the Sales and Profit mean within the tooltips.

Solution:

Initially create a parameter with the list containing Sales and Profit as its members.

After creating the parameter, the parameter cannot work on itself. So we need to create a Calculated field with the parameters and what should it display in the tooltip.

Now, we need to implement an action with change parameter to the worksheet, to have the tooltip to be dynamic. 

Finally drop the calculated field created above into the Tooltip of Marks shelf, and done.
