Is it possible to add a specific set of text to the output value of a DAX Measure?

[Anonymous]

I have a Dax Measure as follows:

TotalSales:= SUM (Sales[Revenue])

I would like to use it on a Scorecard but instead of showing a single figure (say, 4,000), I would like to display as "4,000 is the Total Sales for the month".

So, basically, I want to attach the words "is the Total Sales for the month" to that Measure. Of course, that value will change whenever the user selects another month.

Is that possible? Or should I go by using another trick like a Text box (with the words "is the Total Sales for the month") next to the Scorecard.

@Anonymous , If Q&A is enabled you should be able to that easy in the text box.

If you create a measure like this it will become a text measure

TotalSales:= SUM (Sales[Revenue]) & " is the Total Sales for the month"

@Anonymous  You have a few options here:

Option A: DAX only

Total Sales Text:= FORMAT( SUM (Sales[Revenue]), $#,0.00 ) & " is the Total Sales for the month"

Option B: Text box (aka smart narrative)

You can combine DAX measures and text in the same visual within a text box: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/visuals/power-bi-visualization-smart-narrative#edit-the-summary
