How to make Measure Description from SSAS display as tooltip on published PowerBI/SSRS report?

I have populated the Measure Description property for the measures in my SSAS tabular model. These descriptions display as a tooltip when a developer hovers over the measure in the Power BI development environment. So far so good.
What I really want to do is have those same Measure Descriptions also show as a tooltip when a user hovers over the measure on a published Power BI (or SSRS) report.
How can this be achieved?

    Hi @EylesIT ,

    Suppose that you are using customize tooltips in Power BI like shown here,

    Once tooltips are added to Tooltips, hovering over a data point on the visualization should also show the values for those fields if you have published the report.

    You may also post the issue to Microsoft Power BI Community where you could get more ideas about pbix report design.

    Regards,

    Zoe
