Disable Spell Check
Hi jasonsnc42 ,
When adding a text box to a report, spellcheck automatically analyzes the contents and highlights words not in it's dictionary with the familiar red squiggle. There is no way to dismiss this squiggle, meaning that the highlighting is always present. There is no way to disable spellcheck via options either.

I find it rediculous there is no way to disable spell check in Power BI. How is this a problem with such a widely used tool? It is literally preventing me from typing in text boxes.
Agreed it's an absolute joke, as is forced American English, which I'm sick to death of requesting with all Microsoft. Honestly if an AI can write you a paper in the style of the King James Bible it really shouldn't be that hard to develop a sensible spell checker...at least give us a disable On/Off button Microsoft!
Agreed. Why can't you change the checker to English, not American English?
