PowerBI Text Box Formatting Terrible
Copy pasting text into a text box is terrible, it adds random new paragraphs and doesnt maintain the current formatting of the text box. Is there a work around or a fix for this?
Ha Ha you neglected to mention anything about hyperlinks
There is sadly no helpful info here on how to copy and paste links

I appreciate you would like to copy and paste the block of text and hyperlinks, where as you will need to do multiple copy and paste for each.
Please accept solution if it works.

If you copy and paste from aword processor like Office 365 Word to a Text box, then it will copy and paste the line feeds and paragraph control characters. So the appearance looks different.
Try copy and paste fro Word to Note Pad, then edit Note Pad and copy and paste to Text box.
WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get)

the issue with this is that notepad removes any hyperlinks, other than for other formatting it works
You can highlight the text and change it to a URL from textbox.

Hi, ad_w
Based on your description, I tried to test this visual:
If you have heading set up, you will see a blank line at the bottom of the text box that you copy and paste directly into Power BI.
The current workaround is that for the header row, you need to reformat it in Power BI desktop.Best Regards
