I'd like to be able to group tiles by categories on my dashboard and give those sections of tiles a title/name. I.E. visualizations related to Football go in the Football section of the dashboard, visualizations related to Baseball go into the Baseball section of the dashboard, etc.

Is there any way to make the value inside the textbox dynamic? For example, the text would change based on the value chosen in a filter.

I vote for text boxes. We review survey responses and it would be extremely helpful to put the ratings in context to the question being asked.

Also adding static data in excel means you cannot schedule auto refresh from dashboard. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Adding my vote for text boxes similar to Power View. They are great for little usage tips and for custom headings. Text boxes in Power View are also nice because you can change their font size.

Guys, I feel this has to be implemented as standard. Too many customers can't update to Office 2013 on a whim, and therefore labelling pages online (at the very least) is surely something everyone will want to do?
