Tooltips to show text in a column rather than a count.

RE: text in tool tip

Agree. It would be even better to allow the option to take the tooltip from the [Description] attribute as assigned in a SSAS Tabular model. That description shows up if you hover over the field in the Field list, App users don't have access to that. So it would be great to percolate that same description to things like Column Headers in tables and Card visuals.
Hover over the Card title and see a description of the Measure (if there is one).
That way, if that description ever changes, the Tooltip picks up the new verbiage.

Note that you can actually show "first item in table" for some values in the tool tip. With some cleaver modeling and dax you can put text (descriptions, FAQ, etc.). However it would be really helpful to be able to just enter some text. Like to just click and type in the tool tip.

RE: text in tool tip

Completely Agree! this would be a massive to be able to highlight notes (for example) as a tool tip... I hope this one makes it to the MS Programmers!

RE: text in tool tip

This is just common sense - especially in a spatial view

RE: text in tool tip

It would be nice also to have the possibility to show text attributes in tooltip
