It is possible to add comments/descriptions to databricks database **columns**, and in powerbi a column can have a column description which can pop up when hovering over the column name. When importing a table from databricks using the powerbi databricks connector, it would be nice if it imported the column got the description from the corresponding column in databricks!

RE: Databricks connector should import column descriptions
Thanks for taking the time to post this idea Erik! To me this is a no brainer that this should in fact be standard functionality!
RE: Databricks connector should import column descriptions
This should be a standard feature, Microsoft. Why spend all the effort documenting column descriptions upstream in Databricks if Power BI can't consume those descriptions? Instead, to have a fully documented data model, we have to recreate the same descriptions in the PBIX that we've already created upstream in the DWH!
