Whats the best way for someone to add text to an exported PBI?

hi all,

 

i have a report that requires text input, and lets say the user does not have access to the power bi desktop file.

I have a premade box in a page for them to add text.

So is the best way for them to comment in this box to  export as image in Ppt and they manually insert a text box?

The issue is it does not look the best.

 

Looking for any other ways you guys may accomplish this.

 

thanks.

Hello @wonka1234 

Many ways to achieve it

 Use Comments pane in Power BI Service

Add a Power Apps visual for text input

Export to PowerPoint (editable, not image) and add text boxes

Use placeholder text/tooltips in the report

Export to Excel with extra columns for user comments

Hello @wonka1234 

Depending on your licence level, I think create a powerapps would be the easiest solution with a sharepoint list, dataverse or azure sql database

Then you can embedded this app in your power BI report
