    You need to render your text via SVG as well.  You cannot mix column types.

    Thanks for the reply lbendlin. How would adding more of the boilerplate code to the image help? I still don't think it would render correctly. As you can see, as it's currently defined, it renders fine when used on its own. It's the combination of displaying the image or text within the same column that is causing the problem.

     

    I now think it has more to do with displaying the value than displaying the image. I tweaked my expression, hard coding the value as a string. This changed the measures format from General to Text.

     

    InScope = IF (  AND (  ISINSCOPE('Head Count Combined'[PAYROLL_NAME]) , [Assigned New] = 1  ) , [BlueBox]  , "6" )
     
    Now the images display appropriately but the values don't (there should be a 6 at each placeholder).
