Why use a tooltip when I can use a data label or hover text?

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Any instances you can share where a tooltip would be more beneficial than a data label or hover text? Maybe I'm missing the forest for the trees here.

Hi @Joe_M

The tool tip fields allow you to put additional information into your hover text or data labels without having to generate a new beast mode to display all of the information that you need. You can refer to them in the analyzer settings as %_TOOLTIP1/2/3 etc

Agree with @GrantSmith . Here is an example where I use tooltip1 to store the count of a field an incorporate it into the hover text
