    Use a regular text or smart narrative visual (or a tooltip) and feed it from a file you maintain on a sharepoint.

Hi MiquelPBI ,

 

Currently, Power BI service does not have a built-in feature to set up a “broadcast” message on a report, dashboard, or within an app. 

As a workarounds you might consider:

You can set data alerts on tiles in your dashboards. These alerts notify you when data in your dashboards changes beyond the limits you set. However, this is more of a data-driven alert system rather than a general broadcast message.

Power BI service integrates with Microsoft Teams, allowing you to share links to reports or dashboards in a chat. This could be used to broadcast messages to a team, but it’s not exactly a broadcast message within Power BI service itself.

You can schedule and send Power BI reports by email. This could be used to send messages along with reports, but again, it’s not a broadcast message within the service.

 

Best regards.
