Error when using a text measure
When trying to use a text measure (Measure = "text") in a card or tooltip, the system generates the following error: "Failed to load data for this visual element. Unable to convert value "text" of type Text to type Numeric". This error appears only lately and only in one file. The same measures created earlier work without the error. If you make a copy of a working measure (without changes), it too stops working and generates the error indicated above. I don't want to re-create the file, a lot of effort has been put into creating it. Maybe someone has encountered this error and knows how to fix it? Hope for your help!

The error has been corrected. The reason was the filter SELECTEDMEASURE() / 1000, which I used to dynamically change the digit capacity of numbers in the visual elements. The system was dividing the text by 1000 and generated an error. I solved the problem by including the text measures in exceptions through the "If" function.
