how can be place a hover text on a measure name? i mean when the user hovers over the measure name titles, they want to see a text which talks about the measure description.
Note that in any report that lists Measures, you can get the description via a drill on "Measure Properties".
If you wanted to implement a hover, you could accomplish this via a customization to the procedure in question. You might try a JavaScript method or use the TITLE= attribute on the cell where the Measure name appears. You would have to extract the Measure properties for each Measure you were displaying in the context... which would mean a customization to the core reporting code as well.

It would be a fairly complex customization to do this, as mentioned above.
One thing that might work for you and would be easier would be to drop the "Measure Properties" or "Metric Related properties" gadget on your Dashboard and having it receive broadcasts on Measure. The gadget will automatically display the properties for all Measures multi-selected on the Dashboard, and this avoids having to make any customizations.
