    Currently it doesn't support to display data source on the tooltip by default.

    You could submit an idea here to let others know and vote for your idea and finally improve the feature of power bi.

     

    Additionally, there is a workaround you amy have a try.

    right-click on the table name, select "properties", enter data source name in the "Description" box, then you could see the data source name on the tooltip. It diaplay under the default items.

     

     

     

    Best Regards
