Currently it's impossible to add alt-text to Power BI, which means dashboards cannot be used by visually impaired persons who rely on screen readers. It also means we cannot use the program for projects that must be ADA compliant.

This is now supported in the June release of Power BI Desktop. Learn more here: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-desktop-accessibility/

RE: Add alt-text options to Power BI
This is so important!
It's sad it probably won't get as many votes as it should because people just don't think how this can affect a visually impaired person.
I hope the development team realizes this is more than a functionality, it's a moral obligation.
(Also note that we tend to underestimate who would benefit from things like this)
