Smart Narratives features allows to customize and save operations in new variables besides the ones generated automatically by summarize option: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/visuals/power-bi-visualization-smart-narrative#edit-the-su...
On the other hand, it looks like that text needs to be defined from scratch in each customized smart narrative. Some NLG tools allow to save narrative templates to re-use them at any time.
Is there any way to save manually defined text to be available for further operations or new smart narratives in Power BI?
Hi, @mlloberes ;
Try to use using an NLG tool called "ARRIA" (https://www.arria.com/).

Hi @v-yalanwu-msft,
Thank you for the answer and your suggestion. Arria NLG plugin and Power BI seem pretty much similar in this regard. Text created manually for customized narratives necessarily is possible to be saved jointly with operations in both solutions.
Since I am interested in Power BI, which looks like a more complete business solution, do you know whether saving manually created text is possible in Power BI itself?
Thank you.
