Hey,

 

unfortunately it is not possible to use data from your tables or from a measure inside the Textbox.

 

Maybe you want to consider using the card visual to display text information from your model. There are also some custom visuals inside the marketplace available that are able to "visualize" text.

 

Hopefully this gets you started

Hi

 

You can create a measure with your text in there. Then you create a new table visual and usethis measure as value.

 

Hope that helps
