    Hi dlwallace ,

     

    We can edit the description in Model View of Power BI Desktop, then it wil show in Field Panel when edit the report.

parry2k , Thanks.  I saw the Description field in the DAX Studio query and I wondered where it could be entered.

 

When I enter that, it shows me the description in PBI Desktop, but in the actual report that description does not show, correct?  Any way to get that visible similar to the tooltip?

 

Thanks!
