Card Text Now Only Center Aligned within the box?

Hi!

If you're still looking for an answer - You can use a blank button to achieve text alignment!

Steps -

1. Insert a Blank Button into the Dashboard and Go to Format Button

Under Text->Click on FX to pass the column that button will take value from :

Select the Column from the Table:

Switch the "Outline" Toggle off and Align the Text in the button as required.

I hope this helps!

As of November 2018 update, Having a single value in a multi row card causes default color customization within the "Data Label" well.

It is frustrating. But you can download Advance Card addin app. https://store.office.com/addinsinstallpage.aspx?rs=en-US&assetid=WA104381651

I just downloaded the July version of Power BI Desktop. It appears as though that text dynamically generated via DAX in a measure in a Card visualization can only be centered aligned within the visualization "box" area? I'm sure I've left-aligned text in a measure before, but am coming up blank for where / how to do this again. Surely it's possible. 

 

Note #1: I'm not referring to using the Align icon within the Format ribbon used to align the entire visual, just the text "inside.

Note #2: I'm also not referring to aligning the Title of the measure itself, just the dynamically generated text.

 

I'd appreciate any thoughts and guidance. 

 

Thanks.

To give the appearance of left-aligned text, I have added a load of spaces to the end of my dynamic text.  It is not a neat solution but at least it is simple.

Came across this article, and I think this is the best workaround for the alignment in a single value card. 
https://www.havensconsulting.net/blog-and-media/how-to-apply-font-alignment-to-single-value-cards

as of 2021 you still can not align the text in the cards 

The problem with multirow cards is that you do not have controll over when it switch to show in one or two colums I WANT it only in one colum but as soon as i make it as wide as i want it... it starts to show in 2 Colums.

I have a Woring solution

1) make a text box (make background 100% transparent)

2) make a headline based on a formula (enter measure here)

3) left align the title of the text box !

When using the Card Visual as a changing headline or only showing first value, you can now use the Smart text/Smart narrative box to get the same effect but with text align options. 

By only having a Value in the box you can left align the text/value. 

This is a bit old, but I thought I'd add that the New Card visualization allowed me to aligned the text inside.
