In order for users to understand the calculations applied through DAX Measure a useful feature would be to be able to display the measure description, which is added in the model view in Power BI, to the tooltips in the visual where the measure is used. This would allow the user to understand how calculations are made without any DAX knowledge.

RE: Measure description as visual tooltip

I used to have this ability when using SAP BW, and it is invaluable to users when faced with lots of measure with similar names, that can have very different values.It also makes use of the time and effort maintaining the help in the first place.Many thanks
