Populate Power BI tooltips and column descriptions from OData Feed?

[Anonymous]

Can you populate column descriptions and table tooltips information in Power BI via the Odata service document?

E.g. using Core.Description Annotation terms?

There seems to be something available for Common Data Model/Manifest model.json/manifest.json files as pbi:mappingDisplayHint but is there anything for odata?

Thanks for the tooltip links I'll take a further look.

And thanks for clarifying on odata. Maybe we can modify a .pbit template file or something instead.

Hi @Anonymous ,

As far as I know, Power BI support us to connect to OData feeds directly by OData feeds connecter.

For reference: Connect to OData feeds in Power BI Desktop

Power BI supports us to create a tooltip by the tooltip field or report tooltips. I think you may refer to blogs as below to learn more details about tooltips in Power BI.

For reference:

Create tooltips based on report pages

Configure and view tooltips
