Table Header in my visual

Hello,

I am trying to find how to add a comment to a table header in my report. 

I have a column that is calcuated using a formula and I want the user to understand how I got this value when the hover over the column header.

 

Thanks for your tips and help.

Thanks Lionel Chen, this is not what I wanted. I got an answer that the feature is not available and I voted for it to be added.

Thanks Amit for your response. This is not what I need! I just need same what Chris in below URL did which seems to be only applicable to Power Query only! I tested it and I was able to see comments in Power Query but not my visual!
