Hello community, I've been thinking about how to put a description for a few days, explaining the meaning of each column of a table or matrix.
If I activate the Tooltip, I
The name of the
column, and that doesn't work for me.
I tried an image next to it, or
cun uma forma, but it is not worth it because the table has scroll and the image is still when I do scrol to right or left
Does anyone come up with an idea or know how to put a personalized explanation to a header?
Thanks in advance and greetings.
There is an idea/request posted in Fabric Ideas to resolve this Tool tip for Specific Column in matrix/Table.
Understood. I wish Power BI had more option for this.
Hi @Syndicate_Admin ,
Maybe you create a seperate page with all of the definitions and set it up to be a page tooltip on the matrix.

Thanks for answering, that way I know it, and I'm using it to give other data.
What you need, was that it was independent for each column header, to be able to give explanation / translation of each column, but thank you very much, for bothering to answer 👍
