Dynamic value in text box no longer works after upgrade

Hi all,

Recently upgraded from April 2023 to October 2024 PowerBi Desktop.  For some reason I can no longer add measures to dynamic text boxes.  I enter the name of the measure but not is returned to select, and the option to 'save' remains disabled.  Adding the measure to a card returned the correct value, so it is not a problem with the measure.

This worked in April 2023.

Kind regards,

Ben.

Hi @bhalicki 

 

Thank you very much danextian and ribisht17 for your prompt reply.

 

Currently power bi desktop has been updated to the November 2024 version. I tried to create the dynamic text box under the current version and he seems to be working fine.

Hi @bhalicki

What do you mean by dynamic text boxes? Please post a screenshot. Also, there is a big jump from April 2023  to October 2024.

Hi @danextian ,

A text box with dynamically updated text (based on a field or measure).

Yes understand there is a big jump between versions... unfortunately have had to hold off upgrading due to other bugs 🙂

Cheers,

Ben.
