    Hi joshua1990 ,

     

    You may create a Tooltip page for the Matrix visual, put [Description] and the specific measures ore columns into a visual of Tooltip page , then go to main report page, select the Format section and choose the Tooltip card you created , for reference: Create tooltips based on report pages in Power BI Desktop. Based on your data, I have created a tooltip for the Matrix visual. You may download the pbix file from here.

     

    When you hover the fields of the Matrix , the Tooltip will appear.

    Fowmy Thank you for your support!

    Basicly it is pretty simple.

    For instance, I have the measure [Sales] and then I have an Excel spreadsheet in the Data Model that shows/ contains per Measure a description. 
    It is a table with MeasuresName - Description.

    now I would like to add this description to the matrix and the column [Sales]. In the next column I have the next measure.

    So, I want to display in the tooltip for every measure in my Matrix the corresponding description of the Excel Sheet.

    Do you need further information?
