Multi row card - removing date turns other value into title

Hi all,

 

So I have the card on the left, but I've decided to remove the date to make the card smaller. When I do this, it turns my Avg Duration on Page measure (text value) into a card title, ruining the format. Has anyone got a clue why this happens and how to fix it? If I add the Avg Duration measure twice into the card it seems to fix it?

Kind regards,

Quote from the solution: 

 

The Multi-Row Card visual has four things you can format: Title (just manually entered text), Card Title, Data labels and Category labels.
The date in your example has been identified by the visual as the Card Title: the unique thing under which the other values can be grouped.  Generally these are text fields but clearly this visual is configured to recognise Date fields in the same way.
As soon as you add another similar field (Text or Date) it can no longer work out which to use for the Card Title and dispenses with them altogether.  When the second field is added you will observe that Card Title disappears from the options available in the Format pane.
You can't control what's used as the Card Title, I guess because there can only ever be one.  The fact that it can be a Date is regrettable in your case, but I imagine that in other circumstances one might find it useful.
