Adding a subtitle to a specific table column
this screenshot is from looker (I want to do the same on PBI)
Hi All
Is there a way to display column descriptions when hovering over the column name in a table mainly? I want to add specific column descriptions to make it more user-friendly without making the table too bulky.
Hey Anonymous
A simple workaround solution to your requirement is adding small more information icons from add button menuand set the action type as "web URL" and keep the "Web URL" field empty, lastly add a description that you want to display while your user hovers in the tooltip text.
Now you can place this button on the column field where your user is going to hover.
If this helps you please mark my solution as accepted so that other users can find it quickly when facing a similar issue. Thank you!

Hi Anonymous ,
Unfortunately, there is no way you can have a column name or column description as part of the tooltip.
Thanks,
