If you add field properties, they appear in tooltips when you hover over a field in the Fields list or in the fields area of visuals.

@Greg_Decklerfiled area in  visuals where they are shown?

No, they do not show up in visuals. For that, what I would possibly recommend would be to create a wide, flat table using an Enter Data query. Create a column for each thing that you want to have a Tool Tip for in this table. Paste your Description from your Field Properties into the correct column and then place the column in the Tool Tips area of the visual. You could even possibly combine all of the tips you want to display into that cell of your Enter Data query. So basically, what you would have would be a table with a single row and as many columns as you have Tool Tips that you want to display.

Hi @chotu27,

Your expected result is unsupported in Power BI. Please review the feature request and vote it: Tooltips for Tables.

Hmm. Likely SOL.

Sorry, that was my intention of saying SOL. Apparently you may not be familiar with that acronym.
