Column Description when user hovers over it.

Hi Guys,   Is it possible to show in PBI the definition/description of each column name in the table visual if the User hovers over the column name?   Thanks, Anuj

How about this?  Not ideal, but it may suffice. 

Create a custom legend (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLON1j2SUK0 for details). 

Remove all other formatting in the new custom legend, and add the column description to the tooltips. 

This assumes that the column description is in a separate field.  If not, you will have to create a new table with just the column and column description. 

Then place the custom legend next to the table.
