Hello! So you know how you can add a dynamic value inside of a text box:
I have been trying to find anything that provides documentation or a video tutorial on how to use this but nothing.
I have a table like this:
Table Name: Added Project Count
I want to be able to put a dynamic value in there to call the project count based on the district. So my text box would look like this:
8 added in D1
8 added in D2
6 added in D3
7 added in D4
...
But I can't seem to figure out how to reference a specific table and column and it's value. Any help, whether it is how to actually do it or a link to documentation about this, would be SO AMAZING!!
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @ACraig08
I suggest that you can put the results you want into a card visual.
DAX:
Measure = SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Project count])&" added in "&SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[District])
Result:
At the same time, you can also modify the format of the card visual.

I think this will give you what you are looking for.
Concat =
CONCATENATEX (
'Added Project Count',
CALCULATE ( SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Added Project Count'[Project Count] ) ) &
" added in " &
CALCULATE ( SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Added Project Count'[District] ) ),
UNICHAR ( 10 ),
CALCULATE ( SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Added Project Count'[District] ) )
)
So is there no way to do it within the "Ask a question about your data" box so it's one district at a time and I can edit the formatting.
