I will often use ratios in my tables and I would like to be able to allow a user to point at a value/cell and see the tooltip of the numerator and denominator so they have a frame of reference rather than having to include the numerator and denominator in their own columns. Also, I'd like to be able to add tooltip descriptions to column headers so users are able to get a description of how a column is calculated and what it means.

- dilumd1New MemberI need a facility to show the value instead of the URL in a table.
- awright2New MemberI need this so that I can hover over a grade and show the comment associated with it from a different field in the same table.
- pbiideas1New MemberI vote for this feature.
- espen1New MemberWe really need to be able to add a tooltip to the column header. It is often necessary to add a description to a specific column, and this is far from easy to accomplish. Ideally one should have the option to add either a fixed text or a measure.
- dmorricalNew MemberAgreed. I've got a matrix where there's not enough room in the row headers to expound on their detail.
- SThornburgNew MemberI see different use cases: 1. Define a tooltip scoped to a specific table visual column. 2. Define a tooltip scoped to a table header and table rows for a specific column Both would be very helpful to provide detail for tables.
- ross_1_vanevenhNew MemberI need this because we need to be able to allow the users to see where a field came from ( source table/field, calculation or general comment on expected value).

- carlos_utcalNew MemberI would be nice in order to explain some more info or exceptions on each column, or if not possible, general to the table.
- hamidxaNew MemberHaving it for table values by column would be ideal -- if Matrix visuals already support this (albeit not a clean implementation), then why not Table visuals? Furthermore, to have even column specific header tooltips, like Excel's comments, would be invaluable to end-users.
