Dynamic Text

Hello,   Is there a way that I can create a dynamic text within the text box?   In other words, let's say I want to display the following: There are @numberoftickers submitted by @numberofusers ...

    What you can do is to create a measure like 

    TextMeasure = "There are " +  [numberoftickers] + " submitted by " + [numberofusers] + " and managed by " + [numberofadmins]

     

    Now you can place this measure in a text box and that should show the desired result. Using text based measures is a handy technique in scenarios like this.

The problem with using a card is that you lose the control over font over individual segments. For eg: if I wanted to display the measure value in bold and different color from rest of the text, or go to next line, I cant do that.

So basically, being able to concat text and measure directly in text box would be good.

The other problem with using a card is that you lose all formating capabilities. (or at least to the best of my knowledge).

 

I have not been able to left justify the text in a card.
