Dynamic values in text box
I just found the cause of the issue, I'm posting it for anyone else reading this thread.
Adding dynamic values on Smart Narratives visuals (and in text boxes) uses the Q&A feature under the hood. So I tried to add a Q&A visual and I got an error message saying that Q&A was not supported for this report.
The problem was that the language was configured as Spanish, even though I had the Spanish language support for Q&A preview feature turned off (I might have turned it on sometime in the past but then turned it off again, but apparently the model language was stuck as Spanish). Once I changed the model language back to English everything started working smoothly.
Yeah, I haven't seen the feature documented anywhere, but still I see it when using Power BI Desktop, but for some reason I'm unable to use it. I understand and have used the workaround suggested by v-deddai1-msft but my question is regarding this (yet) undocumented new feature.
Hi MarioVW ,
Based on my test, we can add measure to the text box in the latest version from microsoft store(It could be more latest than you can download from the download link):

I'm on the latest Microsoft Store version (June 2021, version 2.94.921.0 64-bit) and I'm still seeing the same behavior as in my original post. In addition, I'm seeing the exact same behavior when using the Smart Narrative visual instead of a plain text box.
Is anyone else seeing the message "Adding dynamic values isn't supported in this application" when trying to add dynamic values using the Smart Narratives visual (or a simple tex box)?
I am too, looking at the language settings but there should be no reason why my language would be Spanish.
I am using a column there. The column contains text which gets displayed in the textbox, so works great. The only problem is I get the whole text underlined in blue colour and I can't find a way to make it disappear.
worked for to display conditional text in a simple text box.
Created a measure based on latest date to display relevant text and it worked. Thanks.
