comments in power BI

For month end reporting scenarios where people add commentary to reports / dashboards.  Just wondering how people are approaching this in Power BI?

    Hi,

     

    Recently i have been using custom visual called "Enlighten Data Story" for periodic comments or executive summaries.

    It's a little bit laborious to set up individual measures and filters but it works wonders.

     

    For example:

    - Sales are # by # and trend is #. (All # is a measure.=

    It ends up showing like this: - Sales are up by 5% and trend is upwards.

     

    first and third # are derived based on IF THEN based on measures.

     

    I also use CONCATENATEX to list selected filters, i.e. 

    Selected Categories = CALCULATE(CONCATENATEX(DISTINCT(Categories[Category_A]), Categories[Category_A], ","))
