Google Data Studio - Custom Metrics and Drill Down Options When Hovering Over Graph

I have a times series graph in Google with drill down options for the date fields as well as two custom fields. When I go into view or edit mode and hover over my graph to select custom metrics, they are not showing up.

My time series graph

Some of my other times series and graphs on the same page have optional metrics that show up when I hover over them. All the other graphs in my report don't have this problem.

Things I have tried.

  • Refreshing Data Source
  • Refreshing the page
  • Enabling and re enabling the custom metrics

I'm not sure what else to do as I am still somewhat new to using this tool. Any hints would be much appreciated!

A couple of reasons:

1) Text Box

One possibility is that the Text Box may be ordered ahead of the Time Series Chart, thus blocking the top of the chart (Right click on the Text Box and set the Order to Send to back), however, when the chart is selected, it should show, thus #2 should do the trick:

2) Chart Header

It may be currently set to Do not show; it can be changed by heading to the Style Tab of the respective chart, scrolling down till the Chart Header section and selecting Show on hover from the drop-down.
