Container size fitting
Hi bobekryant,
Yes. If you are using the current Card visual, I would make Entity and Address separate cards rather than trying to squeeze both into the same card layout.
The current Card visual lets you add multiple values, with each value displayed as its own card inside the visual. Under Format visual > Multi-card layout, you can also enable Fixed size and give the cards explicit dimensions, so one longer value does not force the other cards to continually resize.
You can then use Apply settings to in the formatting pane to format Entity and Address individually.
If you need completely different widths, heights or positions for each field, I would go one step further and use a separate Card visual for each field. That gives you full control over the available space for a longer Entity value without affecting Address.
So I would avoid solving this mainly through smaller fonts/padding. Separate card containers, either within the new Card visual or as individual visuals, should give you much cleaner control.

Super UserIf you are using the new Power BI Card, the problem is usually the internal layout. Changing font size or padding will not always fix it.
My suggestion after doing some search, It is better to use a different Card visual for each field instead of putting Location and Address together in one Card.
What you should do:
- Make separate Cards: Create one Card visual for each field, like Location, Address, and City.
- Clean the design: Turn off backgrounds, borders, and category labels.
- Adjust spacing: Set the padding and size for each Card on its own. Make each box fit its exact text size.
- Group them: Put a background shape behind all the Cards and group them together to make them look like one big box.
- Handle long text: Turn on text wrapping for long addresses. You can also use a Multi-Row Card or Table visual if some addresses are very long.
This stops the Location text from pushing or shrinking the Address space. Separate Cards give you the better control over your report design and overall customization.
