Is it possible to place a visual that will represent the SQL server database dynamically in PBI?

Hello all,

Another question came up not sure if it is feasible.

In power bi visual, is it possible to place a text box or a place holder like card visual that will reflect what data source it is connected to?

So, when users get to the report, they don't need to ask admin each time source of database (example: live database or backup database and such).

Thanks for you time.

    I am sure there is not such way however if source is included in the dataset, then it will be possible.

    For example; a filed that will have the datasource name and maybe another field which would give us name of stored procedure.
