Please show the description set in field properties when hovering over a row or column header in a table/matrix viz. Its nice to get the description when hovering over a field in the Fields panel, however, would be much more valuable in the table / matrix. This way users can easily see the description of the values being viewed. Especially when the description provides calculation info.

RE: Show Field Description in Table/Matrix Headers
It is common to want to clarify the definition of a measure, I am constantly trying to find ways to 'decorate' pages, charts, tables, etc. with ways to get to the business definition of a measure. Allowing access to the Description in tooltips (or even better in Dax) so we can use it dynamically in other areas would be huge.
RE: Show Field Description in Table/Matrix Headers
Yes. That would be a great addition. There is no simple text based tooltip for a column header. This would make it easy to create one.
RE: Show Field Description in Table/Matrix Headers
Show the field description in the tooltip.
RE: Show Field Description in Table/Matrix Headers
Yes.. show the field, not the field name. How is that helpful?
