Can we type comments into power bi ?

For example, if I import a table from excel and show it as a report in power BI, and I want to be able to create a new column within power bi called "comments" that is blank and can store any information or comments typed in that column while using the power bi user interface.

Hi @lavishag 

 

You can see the commentary in action for Power ON's product at https://youtu.be/olRXFLaynTg

With PowerBI only you can't achieve this behaviour.

 

You would need third party tools like poweronbi.com or you could achieve a writeback with the powerapps-visual BUT not in that manner that you could write back from a colum/row/cell.

 

If this post was helpful may I ask you to mark it as solution and give it some kudos?

Have a nice day!

BR,
Josef
