Weekly/Monthly Reporting and Free Text Entry
We've automated a huge amount of our technical reporting using Power BI service......with all the usual trends/charts/graphs.
One thing that gets asked a lot however is using Power BI for issuing thing like Weekly Reports, ie a plant manager opens a Power BI report and is able to easily enter some free text to summarise plant performance before generating a PDF with the automated KPIs, charts etc.
I know they can click "Edit" and enter it.......but thats not ideal with so many sites and people of different abilities.
Any ideas?

There are different ways of handling this but my personal recommendation would be to integrate a PowerApp with your PBI report and use that as a vehicle to update a db table. The text stored in the table can then be re-surfaced through a visual embedded in the main body of your report and the content dynamically changed by plant id.
