FAQ

Comments in Power BI: questions

Can you comment on numbers in Power BI?

Power BI’s built-in comments sit on a report or a visual. accoCOMMENT attaches comments, ratings and approvals to the exact data point they are about, so the explanation stays with the figure.

Where are the comments stored?

In your own database, next to the data: Azure SQL, Microsoft Fabric or on-premise SQL Server. Comments survive report refreshes and can be used in other reports.

Can AI assistants use the comments?

Yes. Because the comments are stored as data next to the figures, AI assistants such as Claude and Microsoft Copilot can read the context behind a number instead of guessing it.

How much does accoCOMMENT cost?

Writeback users cost $15 per user per month for 1–30 users, $11 for 31–99 and $8 for 100+, or from $6.7 with a 12-month commitment. Report viewers are free, and there is a 30-day free trial on Microsoft AppSource.
