Excel Facts

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.
It’s called a tool tip. Select the visual and you will see in the visualisations pane on the right, towards the bottom, a section for the tool tip. You can add as many measures or columns as you want.

thanks matt. i also asked the data team at work and got a greatly enlarged and highlighted response a few hours after you responded. i had been searching up customised tool tips thinking that was the only way to do it. typical me, sledgehammer to kill a ****roach.

Now i just need to figure out the formula/measure i need to count open projects so that i can add that to the tooltip.
