How to Remove Scroll Bar from a Text Box in Power BI

Text boxes in Power BI are useful for adding context, explanations, or additional information to your reports and dashboards.

However, sometimes, you may want to display the entire content without a scroll bar.

Here's how to remove the scroll bar from a text box:

Step 1: Insert a Text Box

  1. Open your Power BI report or create a new one.

  2. In the "Home" tab of the Power BI Desktop, click on "Text box" from the "Text box" dropdown menu in the "Insert" section.

  3. Position and resize the text box as needed on your report page.

Step 2: Enter Text Content

  1. Double-click inside the text box to enter your text content. You can also format the text as needed using the formatting options in the formatting pane.

Step 3: Adjust Text Box Settings

  1. With the text box selected, go to the "Visualizations" pane on the right side of the Power BI Desktop.

  2. In the "Format" section, expand the "Text box" category to reveal formatting options.

Step 4: Modify Scroll Bar Settings

  1. In the "Text box" formatting options, you will find a "Scrollbar" toggle.

  2. Toggle the "Scrollbar" option off (set it to "No").

Step 5: Preview and Save

  1. Click outside the text box or press "Enter" to save your changes.

  2. Preview your report to ensure that the scroll bar has been removed from the text box.

By following these steps, you can remove the scroll bar from a text box in Power BI, allowing the entire content to be displayed without the need for scrolling.

This can be particularly useful when you want to present text content in a more user-friendly and visually appealing manner.
