Change card label

There are no formatting options available for cards, and I can't find a way to rename them. A count is labeled "Count of some_numb". I know renaming the field will change the "some_numb", but I can't get rid of "Count of". Ideas?

  • You create an implicit measure by dragging a numerical field..Try create a measure based on that field..and the card will have the name of the measure - can be any name..

  • Power BI seems to have a simple way of changing card labels. I have tried this in Power BI service but it should work on Power BI Desktop too. 

     

    The first chart below shows the original labels that are populated based on the name of the measures. Follow the steps listed below to change the labels on your chart.

     

    1. Click your chart, and click the small triange next to the measure name on fields tab. 
    2. Click the rename button and type the new Label that you want to show on the chart.
    3. Legend label is automatically updated with the new label value.

    I hope this helps!!

    RWhiteman As far I know and used Power BI, formatting options are NOT available for card and gauge visualizations. Thanks

        Under the Visualizations area, go to the Fields section. Click on the down arrow to the right of your field name and select "Rename for this visual." Enter your new name and hit enter.
