    Hi JDDS14 

     

    The Report Description in Power BI is not visible in the report details outside the settings.

     

    1. Add the description as a text box or create a "Welcome" page in the report.
    2. Use external documentation like SharePoint or Teams.
    3. Retrieve the description using the Power BI REST API for display elsewhere.

    For now, descriptions are mainly for internal reference.

     

    Did I answer your question? Mark my post as a solution, this will help others!

    If my response(s) assisted you in any way, don't forget to drop me a "Kudos" 🙂
