Hi natekistler ,

You have definitely found a regression in the November 2025 update.

The fact that the exact same measure works in the "Reference Label" slot but fails in the "Callout Label" slot proves that the measure logic is correct, but the visual's Evaluation Context is broken.

Here is what is technically happening and how to work around it until the hotfix arrives:

The Issue: Context Loss In the new Card Visual, the "Callout Label" (Title) seems to be evaluating at the Visual Level (Global) rather than the Series Level (Row-by-Row).

  • Your Reference Label is correctly respecting the filter context for each card (P09 vs P11).

  • The Callout Label is likely calculating the "Last" or "First" value of the entire dataset and applying it to all cards uniformly.

The Workaround: "Promote" the Reference Label Since the Reference Label logic is still intact, you can visually swap them to get the correct result immediately:

  1. Turn Off the Main Label:

    • Go to Callout > Label and toggle it OFF.

  2. Create a "Fake" Title via Reference Labels:

    • Go to Reference Labels.

    • Add your [KPI Table Label] measure here (or keep the one you already have).

    • Style it: Increase the font size and change the color to match your original "Label" style.

    • Position: Move this reference label to the top of the layout order if needed.

This trick forces the visual to use the "Series Context" (which is working) to render your text, effectively bypassing the broken "Callout Label" slot.

Please also consider submitting this as a bug in the "Issues" forum so the product team can prioritize it for the December patch.
