Hi,
I've entered the description of a field in Power BI Desktop and published to Power BI Service. I shared this dataset. I would like the consumers to see the fields description in Power BI Service. An analogy will be a data dictionary. Pls advise is there anyway to do so. Thanks!
Hi,
I hope it can be shown in the below screen in Power BI Service, so as to function like a a data dictionary
If the dataset ( updated with fields' description) is shared with end users. they will be able to see the filed description on hover on the respective fields.
In Power BI service , the users can only see the filed description on hover while editing the datset/report.
