Data Dictionary for Transform window

I'm going to go ahead and assume that there is nothing like this available, but prudence said I should ask anyway.

Prudence is a pain in the ass and never shuts up.

 

We maintain an extensive data dictionary on our data stores. Our user base is also surprising handy with Power Bi.

I am looking for a way to provide them with a description of the data while they are in the Get Data portion of the Transform window. I imagine hovering over the column name in the transform window and having the definition popup...or maybe an action in the menu for the column header.

 

Perhaps some third party stuff?

 

If not I'll make it a suggestion.

Thanks

    Hi dthompsonKairos ,

    In PowerBI, currently moving the mouse cursor to the corresponding position does not show the function you need.

    There is no third party work that supports this feature.

    So I think you can go to the relevant website to propose the Idea.

    Here's the URL for the Idea: https://ideas.fabric.microsoft.com/
