Show project description on hover

[griffinst]

I want to show the project description field in a pop-up or tooltip only when they hover over the project name in a table in power bi.

So if they hover over Project 1, they should see the Project 1 description.   And then Project 2 on hover will show the description for project 2, etc..

Project Status	Project Name	Business Area
Low	Project 1	BA1234
Medium	Project 2	BA4321
High	Project 3	BA5678

This would work if your description can be hard-coded (or, at least, won't change often; i.e you might be able to link it to a file on sharepoint so that it can be easily edited)

Create a table with the following format:

Project Name | Description

-----------------------------------

Project 1        | description 1

Project 2        | description 2

Then you can create a M:1 relationship between the new table's project name and the existing project name column in your data (or, at least make sure that your existing project will filter the new table). 
You can then just put the description in a tooltip page and that should work.

Hello, @griffinst ,

crate dimension with project name and description:

create tooltip page:

value for the card is this:

project_desc = SELECTEDVALUE(project[desc])

and then in your main page, in your visual set up tooltip as Page:

and that's it, make sure you use Dimension in the Table visual then.
