Conditional Formatting in Smart Narrative Box

Hello All -

  I was following Patrick's steps from this video Smart Narratives and Conditional Formatting in Power BI? Yes please! - YouTube to add a condition to my text box that would show either "increase" in green or "decrease" in red.  I have the logic and measures all working, and the words will change as necessary. My problem though is that when the other condition is false, there's still a placeholder showing in my text box:

Patrick doesn't really go into detail about how to place the two Values - it just looks like he places one, and then highlights and places the other Value right on top.  This is what I've done, but I get that "hidden" symbol still in my text box.  Anyone know the trick to get rid of that?

Thanks!

Turns out that if you publish the report, that value does get hidden and you don't see that placeholder.  The video made it look like it was hidden in the local desktop version, but I guess that's not possible.
