Next we need to specify fields that will trigger the tooltip. Switch to value and drag title to the tooltips fields area. We want the tooltip to appear when we mouse over the title, so drag title to the “title” to the “Add data fields here” area.

One problem – the tooltip is gigantic! How to make it a reasonable size? Go back to the tooltip page and set the page size to tooltip:
Should look more reasonable now!
Here’s a link to the workbook.
