Quick summary
Adding text to Power BI lets you include titles, labels, and explanatory notes directly inside a report canvas. You do this by inserting a Text box from the visualization pane and formatting it to match your report's style.
Steps
- Go to the Home tab and select + New report to begin creating a new Power BI report.
- Choose Paste or manually enter data to quickly set up a data source for the report.
- Click Create a blank report to open the report designer where you can add visuals and text.
- Click Create and confirm your data source to open the report designer workspace.
- Select Text box from the visualization pane to add descriptive text alongside your data visuals.
- Drag and position the text box on the canvas — place headers at the top or explanatory notes beside charts.
- Type your content and use the formatting options to adjust font, size, and alignment to match your report's style.
- Your text is now integrated into your Power BI report and visible alongside your data visualizations.
