    Hi sk30 - you can create a Tooltip Page by adding a new page in your Power BI report.
    Go to the Format pane, and set the Page size to Tooltip.
    Add a card or table visual to this page.
    Drag the Description field from the MetricDescriptions table to the visual.

Thanks Rajendra for a quick respose. I'll give this a try. 

 

So, I need to go ahead and do another data pull, probably an excel import to get my custom descriptions into Power BI with metric name acting as the primary to link them both. Please correct me if my understanding is wrong.

 

Thanks.
