Power BI Tooltip Customizability - powerbi

Coming from a Tableau background, is there no way to fully customize tooltips in Power BI?
For example, I want all the tooltip to say
abc
That's it.
Is that not possible?
The closest I've got was:
new_measure abc
After creating new_measure = "abc"

if you don't like the default tooltip, you can always create a custom one following the steps below. In your case you may need to customize the tooltip size to be say 50x100, and place a card visual showing a single text measure.

Power BI Combine Value Plus Unichar In a Tabular Report

I have one tabular report to track the performance according to the month... if the difference is in positive values then need to show "GREEN UP ARROW" icon and if the difference is in negative values then need to show it in "RED DOWN ARROW".
Required the above output into one single column not in to multiple column like in the below screenshot
I have tried the UP and Down Arrows in my report but I am unable to get the result in to one column.
You can use conditional formatting to achieve this. Edit Cell Elements on your visual, turn on Icons for the required series, then set the icon options as follows:
This displays as:

Slicing the power BI report only by slicers not images

I have a scenario where I am using date and country slicers along with maps in my report along with some stacked charts.
When I click on the map for one country it filters the data based on that country I have selected but the filter is not reflected in slicers.
Is there any way that I can use the map only to display the counts without having select, in other words, no selection allowed on the maps?
Any suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks!
Go to Format tab and select Edit Interaction option as shown in the below image. Now select your Map visual and set Filter = None in other visuals you don't like to interact when click on the Map.

Highlight selected bar in a column chart in Power BI

I have got a column chart with 79 geographies and a slicer with the 79 geographies. The column chart is NOT dependent on the slicer however there are other visualisations in the page that are dependent on the slicer.
What I would to achieve is when I select a specific geography in the slicer the bar that corresponds to that selected geography should be highlighted (i.e. a different colour fill). Can someone please let me know if it is possible to achieve.
I was able to achieve this partly by creating an independent slicer. Not coming from the table or joined to the table. I created 2 new measures, one that shows the selected value in the slicer and the second measure to give it a colour. I used this to change the data colour by using "fx" to determine the colour of the column. I am attaching the Power BI file that shows this solution for your reference.
But by doing an independent slicer my other visualisations don't update. I am wondering if it is possible to achieve this without creating an independent slicer so that my other visualisations are not affected.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Measure 1: Measure = SELECTEDVALUE(Locality[Locality])
Measure 2: Colour = IF(MAX(Sheet1[Locality]) = selectedvalue(Locality[Locality]),"red","blue")
Please see below the screenshot and also link to the sample .pbix file for your reference.

You did a great trick as I checked your solution file. But slicer not working as expected which is your issue as per your explanation. To make it work, you can just think reverse of what you have done now.
You have separated slicer value from other data, so that selecting a value in the slicer still keep all Locality in the Bar chart. But problem is, its also keeping all localities in other charts where you wants to take effect of slicer selection. Right?
If the above explanation and assumption is correct, just separate your Locality and Population column to a different island (no relation) table. And create your BAR chart from the new table. Now, if you select a value in the slicer, all charts will be filtered accordingly but the BAR chart.
Finally, apply the Color measure to FX as you implemented currently. This will work as I tried it here and got success. Following is the sample output-

Bolding values in PowerBI

I would like to bold values in a table on Power bi's canvas. Is there a way to bold a value in Power bi by using its wizards rather than programming?
Tried to search for an answer, but didn't succeed finding it.
You can change the text font style in Segoe UI (Bold) for workaround.
It seems this feature isn't currently available in Power BI.

Here is a community idea you can vote on if you want this implemented:

One alternative is to change the color of values, which you can do by selecting your table, going to the Format tab on the right, and find the Conditional Formatting section. (The Field formatting does not let you specify which rows to format, nor does it have any text markup besides color). In the Conditional Formatting section you can play around with the Font Color options by toggling it on and selecting values and colors.
Unfortunately this isn't exactly what you were looking for but this is probably the best way to distinguish values in a Power BI table currently.

In Query Editor, how to get details of a step?

I've done some basic things in a query editor via the user interface. For instance, I renamed a column. Now I'm going back to review, but I'm having a hard time figuring out where the details of the step are.
In Applied Steps, on the "Renamed Column", I can right click and go to properties, but it does not list the old and new column name. There is no gear/setting icon to the right. How do I figure out what the new and old column names are?
For the "remove top rows" step, I can click on the gear icon to the right, and get a box with the number of rows, and edit it. How can I do the same with other steps such as renaming columns?
Not all commands have a gear icon in the Applied Steps panel. The Advanced editor can be quite overwhelming at first.
To ease into things, go to the View ribbon and ensure that "Formula Bar" is ticked, like in the screenshot below. Now you can select a step in the Applied Steps panel and its formula shows in the formula bar, very much like in Excel. You can edit the formula and change parameters as you see fit.
You can expand the formula bar to show a few more rows, with the icon at the right of the formula bar.
The code behind the Query Editor is Power Query. Microsoft Power BI ports many useful / frequently-used functions to the user interface for easier / better user experience (but not all functions, obviously).
Therefore, if you want to find the details of a step, you can always go to the Advanced Editor and check out the original Power Query code to find the corresponding line of code. You can also modify the code directly if you understand Power Query.
Below is a screenshot of the Advanced Editor, where the Table.RenameColumns function in Power Query is highlighted, which is the same as Rename Column in Power BI:
