Hi team,

I have a question, is there any option to modify the tooltip for axis in the heatmap visual? Currently in one of my visuals it displaying the datetime for Y axis, which is not optimal for me. I would prefer to have only dates in tooltip.

Hi @emil.zywina,

Unfortunately, I don’t believe there is a native option to customize the axis tooltip format independently from the field format in heatmap visuals. The tooltip displays whatever format the field is set to.

That said, I think the workaround you can try is to change the date format at the field level. In your calculated field, use truncDate(“DD”, {your_datetime_field}) to strip the time portion and keep only the date. Or format it with formatDate({your_datetime_field}, “yyyy-MM-dd”) to control exactly how it displays. Once the field itself only contains/displays dates, the tooltip should ideally follow suit.

Hope this helps!

Unfortunately the time is still displaying, and text format is not applicable to the heatmap visual. Is there any chance to have this feature in QS in the future?
