    Hi lbushey ,
    Based on my testing and information, there is not a feature that allow service users to hover field and display the description. You can raise a new idea and add the comments there to make the feature coming sooner. Home (microsoft.com)

     

    Maybe you can also try to use third-party tools.

Hej all! 

 

In December Microsoft introduced the INFO.MEASURES() DAX function that allows the retreival of measure metadata. Unfortunately, it cannot be used to create a table in Power BI desktop nor in a measure that limits the functionality of the function in my opinion. I therefore created an idea so that the function can be used to create a table containing the measure descriptions in order for them to be used within the report context.
