How to Add Column Header Descriptions to Table Visual

Hi Everyone,
I want to add descriptions to column headers in a table visual. Is there a method to implement a tooltip-like feature where hovering over a column name reveals its description? Any insights or suggestions would be incredibly helpful!

Hi,

You could build a tooltip page with all information about each column on the visual and added as a Tooltip Header. Like this:

To activate this option go to: 

_AAndrade_1-1707992207282.png

 And after go to help tooltip and link to your tooltip page:
