I'm not looking for something super fancy, but just getting BarChart to show X value and Y value seems to be challenging to get. Here's a toy example.

data = {{"Data 1", -10.}, {"Data 2", 3.}, {"Data 3", -2.0}, { "Data 4", 4.0}}.

BarChart[Tooltip[data]] gives this:

BarChart

How do I modify Tootip to show {Data 2, 3.0} instead of just 3.0?

Thanks for you help!

$\begingroup$ 
BarChart[Tooltip[#2, {##}] & @@@ data, Axes -> True]

enter image description here

You can also use

BarChart[Tooltip[Last @ #, #] & /@ data, Axes -> True]

Alternatively, you can set the option value for the option ChartLabels to Placed[data, Tooltip]:

BarChart[data[[All, 2]], Axes -> True, ChartLabels -> Placed[data, Tooltip]]
