Question

Tooltip honouring the value format

I got a request from one stakeholders to not bother showing values like 456 124 but instead just 456K.


I achieved that by using value formatting 0, "K" but unfortunately the tooltip still shows the full value.


The reason behind my wish is the fact that with such high numbers a small discrepancy between different looks/graphs may occur and that is okay. These numbers are supposed to be for guidance only rather than seeing if something is off by 10.


I wonder if I can do any of the following:



  1. Disable the tooltip completely

  2. Make tooltip honour the format

  3. Apply the same format in different place

Value formatting is not working on visualizations also somehow.

In LookML:



value_format: “0.00”



Looks like a bug on Looker side.

We patched this one up, the fix for it is present in Looker 6.12.20+. Drop a line here if after upgrading to at least that version, you’re still seeing something off.


Thanks for reporting!

We’re now on 6.14 but the tooltip still has mind on his own 😃

I’m having this issue on a stacked percentage area chart, was there ever any resolution or workaround?

Hi,

Why is this still happening?

How can I change the number format in the tooltip?

 

Thanks
