Give people next steps to address the "To turn on Q&A, we need to create a local index of your data..."

This message is a dead-end. At the very least, tell people where to look for next steps.

This also exacerbates the major problem in Power BI of not being able to display text from database columns when using Direct Query. I cannot use Text boxes to display text from my database under Direct Query unless Q&A in enabled.

We desparately need a text box capable of displaying text columns with or without Q&A. We should not lose basic functionality to display text columns in a text box due to Q&A.

Also recommend a text box that allows multi-line CHAR(10) or CHAR(13) delimited and aligned values to be displayed.

The constant workarounds for tasks that should be dead-simple (like displaying a string containing a postal address) make it difficult for me to recommend Power BI on future projects.
