Hello,
Is there a visual (custom), which allows user to write notes in Power BI reports?
Solved! Go to Solution.
No and yes. There is no visual like that, and the main reason why is that a report is interactive, meaning what is shown is not necessarily what was shown when the note was entered.
If you want just a static text, you can use a text box.
If you want to enable users to enter notes for specific data points, the solution is to build a Power App for this, and then use the Power Apps custom visual on the Power BI report.
