Polygon Tooltips?

[LCDataAnalytics]

I'm trying to build a polygon map in Power BI using the built in ArcGIS visual. I have signed in to our ArcGIS server, added data to the join and tooltip wells in the Power BI visualization panel, and joined the Power BI data to a feature layer map in the ArcGIS menu. 

I tested the join by making sure the map can filter a table and vice versa. Everything seems to be set up correctly, except I'm not getting any tooltips. And I'm finding conflicting information on the internet on whether or not you need data in the location well, or if you can only have tooltips if you use geographic marks instead of polygons, or if tooltips even work with joined layers. I did confirm that a tooltip will show up if I added the join field to the location well, but it adds marks and the marks aren't in the correct locations. Which makes sense because it doesn't have an actual location but an area shape to work with. 

Has anyone dealt with this or figured out if it's even possible to have tooltips on polygon shapes and if so how did you do it?

Thank you!

Hello! To my knowledge there is no way to use power bi tooltips with join layers, I suggested that they add some kind of connection that allows tooltips for this! For now, you would have to use the feature information as your tooltip for join layers.

I’ve implemented polygon tooltips using Arcade expressions and the pop-up configuration in Web Map Viewer. It works well for showing summary data like area, category, or custom fields on hover. For better UX, I recommend simplifying the geometry and ensuring labels don’t overlap. Also, if you’re using Experience Builder, try linking tooltip content to dynamic widgets—it adds great interactivity.
