Text Box for Users in Published Report

Hi all - is there a visualization that will allow users to type in a text box in a published report? I want users to be able to type in text, bullet points, change font type, size, color, etc. before exporting the report to a PowerPoint or PDF.

Hi @ChrisFromOhio 

 

Unfortunately this is not possible. But you  could use the Power BI Embedding Feature for Power Point where you can embedd a Power BI report live into a PowerPoint and the people could comment in the PowerPoint via a normal text box.

 

Please find more information here: Add a live Power BI report page to PowerPoint - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

 

Another option, but with more complexity might be to work with Power Apps and to build something

 

Best regards
Michael
