Formatting card so it's 'x - Title'

Is there a way to format cards (either classic or new) so that they can display the value then the label?

 

For example '450 Count of Sales'

 

I know there is a workaround where I can make a measure but this will create extra measures 😕

It depends on what you mean by the card title. If you mean the name that appears in the Fields Box, then you should be able to turn on labels. For the old card, go to Format Visuals and Turn On Category Label - this should display the value first and then the title underneath.

For the new cards, go to Format Visual, Callout Values > and turn on Label. The title appears by default above the value. You can scroll down a little more to see the Position option and change it to below text / format options.

Otherwise, you can try use the dynamic formatting on each of your existing measure(s) with the measure output and concatenate it with the name of the measure. The dynamic format string would be something like: 

"0" & NAMEOF([Your Measure Here])

The downside to this is that it will show the name of the measure for any place where this measure is used in a visual.

Yea, as noted I would like it besides the title or label, not above or below.  Looks like a measure would be the only way
