Tooltip description box for Measures requiring scroll after feb update

[Anonymous]

Hello all, I used to set the description of my measures as a tooltip box  to make it easier to debug my stuff. However after the Feb update, the bigger tooltips appear in a scroll box.. and since it is a hover over feature I cannot even scroll that box ...

For smaller ones it looks fine 

But for bigger ones the look like this: they used to look just like a smaller one however with a bigger box.

Is there a way to revert this change or how the hell I am supposed to scroll over a feature that shows as a "hover over" feature ?

Thank you

Hi @Anonymous ,

It seems that you add some information to the Description field for the measure:

According to the PBI change log document

So my PBI is the latest version , and based on my test, you need to firstly go to the format link—— https://www.daxformatter.com/

format the measure and then then copy the formatted DAX:

Output:

I wasn't aware that this would be a feature on Power BI Desktop. It also doesn't seem to bring up any sort of extended tooltip in my version 2.102.683.0 64-bit (February 2022)

Do you have steps to reproduce this?

@lbendlin It does not do it by deafult. You need to get a measure, go to data the data model, select your measure and add its DAX to the description. You need to do it one by one.
Alternalively if you use tabular editor  you can set an advanced script to do so. Just open up Tabular editor got o advanced scripting and add the following code and run it. It will get all dax of all meausres and set to its description.

"foreach (var m in Model.AllMeasures) { m.Description = m.Expression; }"

@v-eqin-msft Yeah my measureshave multiple lines, since usually wrtie my DAX with linebraks. Due to the script above , but before it used to  show everything with line breaks correctly. Will try to add mess around with formating it on the script before applying the description box.
