Category Header in the New Card Visual

Yes, you’re absolutely right, in the New Card visual, the old trick of simply turning off Category Label doesn’t always behave the way the classic card used to. Microsoft redesigned this visual, and some formatting options moved or behave differently.

Let’s fix this properly.

How to Remove / Hide Category Header in New Card Visual
Step 1: Check if You’re Using the New Card (not Classic Card)
The new card has:

• Multiple fields support
• Reference labels
• Better layout option

Method 1 (Recommended): Turn Off Category Label Properly

1. Select the New Card visual
2. Go to Format pane
3. Expand Category
4. Toggle Category label = Off

If you don’t see this option, continue below

Method 2: Remove the Field Name Instead
Sometimes the header appears because:

• The field name is automatically used as category
• Or the measure name is displayed

Fix:

1. Go to Fields well
2. Click the dropdown on the field inside the Card
3. Rename for this visual
4. Leave it blank or use a space " "

This removes the visible header without transparency tricks.

In modern report design:

• Use Text box titles instead of category labels
• Keep cards clean
• Control titles globally using themes

This gives you pixel-perfect control.

Hi SriSundar,

Thankyou for the update.

As advised by danextian , the effective workaround is to set the font transparency to 100%.
