Business glossary in Power BI report

[jimmymitra]

In our organisation , there is a business glossary that contains the definitions of all the key business terms. Currently this is maintained in excel spreadsheet , but business (mostly report consumers) requires that glossary terms and their definition to be available in the Power BI report so that they can hover over the fields in the report and can see the detail description of the field. 

If it is for self service user , we have already found a solution where we can mainatin the description in SSAS and when the self service user connects the cube , they can hover over the Field section and can see the respective definition ,

But while dragging the same field in the report view , the definitions are carried over to the report/visual. 

Any suggestion on how we can implement this functionality in Power BI report would be greatly appreciated

Hi @jimmymitra，

What about the feature Report Tooltip Pages ? You could create a tooltip page and create a visual including the business glossary.

Then you could add the tooltip when you create a visual, the business glossary will show on the tooltip when you hover over on the visuals.

Best Regards,
