- The Smart Narrative in Power BI desktop generates text based on visuals on a report page, but it is generic and does not support all visuals.
- Users can create custom smart narratives by adding a text box to the report, adding text, and inserting dynamic values using the Value button on the Text box ribbon.
- Values in text boxes must have unique names, and they cannot transfer to other visuals; measures should be used for that purpose.
- Users can review the values added to the custom smart narrative by clicking on Review to list them, and can edit, rename, or apply formatting to the values.
- Resources including the Power BI report and data source used in the article are available on the author's Github.
- It is important to consider the audience when deciding whether to use a summary paragraph or visuals in reports, as different clients have different preferences.
