Descriptions to pull through from Tabular Designer for Measures to appear in Power Bi Designer- This allows our users to understand what the measure is doing without having to understand dax!

RE: descriptions on measures

special request from users to have description on the columns / Metrics. Can be the tooltip or a part of tool tip for columns?

RE: descriptions on measures

Yes, very handy feature otherwise we need to always go back to tabular model to check what each measure is doing when trying to trouble shoot issues .

RE: descriptions on measures

This is a MUST. I have found various similar requests, have they been combined, if so, where, what is the current situation?

RE: descriptions on measures

Having a way to surface the descriptions, firstly on the field, but secondly as a page of all the descriptions, would be great
