@Anonymous, unfortunately, there is no way you can have a column name as part of the tooltip.

HI @amitchandak Yes i know about the customized tooltips. but in order to do that the "Description" should be in the dataset itself.

 

My end result that i would like to get is if user hover to column A values it would show "This is column A"  and same for other column "This is column B","This is column C " for the tooltips for all value,
