How to set line chart visual title to a text measure?

[Anonymous]

I have a line chart visual. I would like to set the title of the visual to be the value in a measure that I have created in the Power BI report. The measure simply returns some text. I follow the instructions in this link, but when I get to the step "Select your field for your title", the Based on Field dropdown will now allow me to select the measure I created, or any other measure or columns in the data model.

Any suggestions what is going wrong?

HI @Anonymous ,

What's the data-type of the calculation that you created? It should be text.

Also, you haven't shared any screesnhot around your problem. Do share them as details.

Thanks,

Once I set the Data Type of my measure to Text, I could indeed select that measure for the line chart visual title.

Thanks for the help!
