Hi Mork,


According to your description, you are looking for a visual to display text data, right?


If that is the case, why not use a table or matrix to display it?

I'm not using a table or a matrix because the text I have to present is two to three paragraphs long in each cell.

 

The log text viewer visual would be ideal but it doesn't render HTML.

 

The Project Web App provides fields to enter multiline text (for example project descriptions/notes) and it feeds that text to Power BI but power BI has no way of presenting multiline text that is easy to read.

 

This is something mandatory for every reporting tool.

    Looking for exactly the same feature for the same use case. A button inside of a table, on which you could click to get a detailled text description in a pop up would be great.
