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.

This worked for me as well. Even though Spanish was not selected on mine, I clicked on English and then "OK" and then it started working again. Thanks for figuring this out MarioVW!
FYI, what also worked for me was when I got rid of all direct query tables. Previously when I had only imported tables, this function worked fine. When I added a direct query table, it must have changed something to the language setting and I got the previously discussed error. Then I deleted those tables, and it worked again. But then I found MarioVW's solution and it fixes it and allows you to keep the direct query tables.
