Is possible using a measure:

 

ProjectDate= if(hasonevalue(table[item]),Values ('Table'[DateProject]))

    Hi Vvelarde -

     

    Thanks for the suggestion.

     

    I will try that, do you know whether it is possible to add a measure from the webapp? I am having to use the webapp since the custom visuals are not importing into Power BI desktop right now due to the proxy bug.

     

    Thank you,

    Tyler

      In Card Visual, we can only accept numeric field. If we put a text field, it will display count of values. For your requirement, if you want to show a Date field, I suggest you add a table with only date field populated. It will be interactive with users selection. If you just want to display static text, you can use Text Box.

       

      Currently, the Power BI REST API only support creating objects like dataset, table, rows, etc. You can't create measures via your web app.
