How to write and retain comments on a graph
Hi community,
I would like to know how to create a (line) graph which can be updated daily, and with the possibility of writing down comments in each data point and keep those comments stored and visible. This is a typical need for daily performance review, when it is needed to write donw what happened and keep the comment there.
I would like to be able to build something like this:
Thanks!
Hi Anonymous ,
We can add comments to a dashboard or report for each visual directly in Power BI Service, but if you want to add comment for each data point, we can use ChartAccent - LineChart in Power BI Visual Marketplace as a workaround. It can add comment for data point when edit report.
If it is not what you want, ,perhaps you can submit the requirement to ideas and add your comments there to make this feature coming sooner: https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas
You could also create your own custom visual if you are an experienced web developer: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-custom-visuals/
Best regards,

Best regards,Hi Anonymous ,
How about the result after you follow the suggestions mentioned in my original post?Could you please provide more details about it If it doesn't meet your requirement?
Best regards,For storing comments in a SQL database you could also try the Acterys Comments visual: Acterys Comments Power BI Custom Visual
This allows you to store rich text formatted comments in a database linked to as many details as required e.g. comment for this date, this account, this scenario, etc.
