Make Button move with Horizontal scroll Matrix

I have buttons with tooltips that are describing the logic behind the measures used in my matrix visual to make the purpose more clear for the end user.

 

The matrix has quite a few columns and you have to scroll horizontally to access all columns. But of course the buttons don't move when I scroll. Is there a way to tie the button to a specific column or place on the visual so it would scroll when the matrix scrolls?

 

I'm editing this to add: I attempted to set up tooltips via a seperate page per this tutorial https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/create-reports/desktop-tooltips?tabs=powerbi-desktop. This didn't work because the description will appear under all fields in the visual while I only want the tooltip to appear on the column headers for the particular column in question.

 

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

Could you able to do it? Any work around?? I am stuck in the almost same situation.

No, unfortunately it's impossible. I created a Google Doc with the descriptions of each calculation and had a button in the corner of the page which linked to that document. Thinking about it now months down the road, there might be a way of having a table of column names and the descriptions you want as tooltips as a column, and then applying that to the visual, but I haven't played with it to see if you could make it work.
