Based on your description, you want to create a new column directly in the report in Power BI Service and enter the corresponding content to save your value.
For your needs, first of all, adding a comment in the Power BI service can currently be increased on the page side, but not for a column, it is for reports.
For this , you can refer to :
Add comments to dashboards and reports - Power BI | Microsoft LearnCurrently, it is not possible to directly modify the data model and add a column and save the data as part of the Power BI service. If you want to implement your needs, I think you can try using Power Apps in conjunction to try to implement your functionality.
For more information , you can refer to :

Hi ss89 ,
Try Right-click the cell and then click Insert Comment (or press Shift+F2).
If you're using Excel for Office 365, right-click the cell and choose New NoteThanks,

Hello! Yes, it is quite possible to leave a comment in the report, you can get useful information from these articles:

Hi there,
Yes, this is possible in Power BI, depending on how you want to use the comments. You can add a custom column in your dataset for notes, or use features like comments on dashboards and reports in the Power BI Service for collaboration during meetings.
For more structured feedback, some teams also integrate Power BI with Power Apps to capture comments or priorities directly.
