This visual allows you to generate text (structured or unstructured) based on source data from your Power BI reports. This can be used to generate messages, content for posts, and stylized data for consumption in tools outside of Power BI. This makes it ideal to serve as a textual data card where you can control the output. Support for animations lets you build engaging (and fun!) reports.

You can choose from numerous preset formats, or roll your own output format using a simple yet powerful template language. Documentation for this is available at https://bizintelligencechampions.com/help/textfromval.

General features of Text From Values include:

Create text that's based on report data which can in turn be copied-and-pasted out of the visual and into other places such as posts, email and chat.
New in 2.3/4. Animation types supported: confetti, curtains and marquee, including parameters that can be set through settings, or code (using the @animation function)
New in 2.2. Ability to react to changes in data, supporting alerts, including visual cues and requiring acknowledgment: great for dashboards that auto-refresh!
Optionally merge "like values" (for example, text values that only differ in case, diacritic usage, punctuation, etc.)
Generate well-formed output formats that Power BI does not normally export. Gain more control over tweaks to your data when making it available to other tools.
Control settings globally or at a column-level.
Able to use advanced mark-up which resembles HTML to build complex cards (1.2).
