Dynamic text box based on filters

I have a data set with a different textual comment for each "Brand".

I need to show this comment into a rectangular big text box on the right of my charts, similar to a Smart narrative element but with my comments,
and I need to show the proper comment depending on the selected (filtered) "Brand" that the chart is showing.

How can I do this?
I only found "Smart narrative" as text box and it only has automatic AI generated text.  I'm unexperienced.

  • This should be reasonably simple to do by joining a new table.
    Create a table with [BrandField] | [Comments to show] and join the tables using the BrandField. 

    You can then create a card with the [Comments to show] field, and have the interactions set to filter based on your chart selections.

      Ah!  I just thought that the card element was only for showing numbers!
      You enlightened me, thanks! 🙂
