Spelling Checker?

‎03-05-2020 09:01 AM

Does Power BI Desktop include a spelling checker to check the spelling of text boxes?  Surprised not to see that feature, unless I am missing something.  I just have the free version - not yet using premium.

I'm also seeing these squiggles under unrecognized words...it's unclear if/how one can get rid of these, if I can't access a spell checking tool.

Morning @SujataNarayana  ,

Just downloaded the latest version of PBI Desktop (April 2020) and I'm getting red squiggle lines under unrecognised words or spelling mistakes. Is this a new feature? No mention of it in the release and no functionality to check the word or add to dictionary. Did notice a post in July 2016 that this was raised as an issue rather than a feature.
