Quickinfo/Tooltip: Identify column which is currently hovered over

I have a table visual that shows multiple contact persons for one supplier claim. 

tbl.jpg

If the consumer hovers over a person in the table, I want to show his/her contact details, coming from another dis-/connected table.

Therefore I have created another report page and set this as the report tooltip. Problem is, that the page now alway shows ALL Details for ALL Persons in that row (Responsible 1 and Responsible 2...), but I want to be more selektive/sleek. In this example, if I hover over Samina, I still also get the details of Daniel too)

with tooltip.jpg

I can write a measure to link to the right person, no big deal, BUT my question is:

 

How can I find out over which column the user currently hovers? ISSELECTED, ISCROSSFILTERED, IS... do not give the desired results.

I'd need something like "ISHIGHLIGHTED" or "ISHOVERED", "IS..." or any other way of finding out, which cell is currently under the mouse pointer...

 

Thanks for any ideas,

Alex

Thank you @v-cherch-msft for showing me this otherwise insightful link regarding totals of columns.

In my case I need to be selective of the column to show (horizontal direction) and not some kind of vertical aggregations. 

1 have 5 columns with person details, and when the user hovers over e.g. column 2 in line xxx I just want to display contanct details if the person in Column 2 and so on...

Thank you!
