1. Re: How do you edit the data and text that appear when using the selection tool in a map view?

Please post your workbook
I would use tool tip and then place a secondary sheet in the tooltip
OR
I would use sets and set actions but trying to come up with a solution without seeing how the data is structured and applied to the view is difficult

3. Re: How do you edit the data and text that appear when using the selection tool in a map view?
Elena Krieger Jan 15, 2019 4:15 PM (in response to Elena Krieger)So, the problem here isn't that I need to actually display more data (say, in a tooltip) but that I want to make sure if someone uses the selection tool it doesn't display unwanted or confusing text. Take this public example:
http://eestats.cpuc.ca.gov/views/EEDataPortal.aspx
Click on the "map view" and then use the rectangular selection tool to highlight a part of the map. A little summary box pops up that says how many items are selected and then gives a SUM(DisplayValue_GWh): [Value]. I want to know how to edit the text that appears in this kind of box. I'm showing another screen shot of what happens when you make such a selection.

5. Re: How do you edit the data and text that appear when using the selection tool in a map view?
Ben Paulos Mar 6, 2019 10:28 AM (in response to Jim Dehner)Elena is not asking about TOOLTIPS, she is asking about the SELECTION TOOL.
I too would like to be able to format the Selection Tool popup the same way I can format the Tooltip.
But more importantly, I want the Selection Tool to work as a filter, triggering changes in charts that accompany a map. For example, if I select five power plants on a map, I want the accompanying bar chart to display data only for those selected plants.
How do I do that?
