Measure Descriptions in PowerBI Datasets and in the excel pivots attached to those datasets

[ruthhacche]

In a dataset I can add a description to a measure so that when someone using the report hovers on the field the 'tooltip' shows what it is eg

If I create a pivot from that dataset (using Getdata - From Power BI

And I hover on the field in the PivotTable Fields Panel then the 'tooltip' just shows the field  name not the description.  (It is a pretty pointless 'tooltip' really)

Is there something I am supposed to turn on or tick somewhere to make the pivot tables in excel as user friendly as they are in the dataset?

Hi. I'm sorry but it looks like an Excel limitation. I couldn't find anything to make it work. The description exists in the data model because I can check it with other tools but it looks like excel hasn't added that yet.
