I have many measures in my Power BI model to display the latest refresh dates from different datasets. Due to the model’s large size, I'm unable to add dynamic date values directly into a text box—although I previously achieved this by manually adding text and bolding the source name within the text box, as shown in the attached image. My current requirement is to create a single measure that generates the entire output—including dynamic dates—so I can show it in a Card or another visual (apart from a text box). Additionally, the source name within this output should appear in bold. Is there a way to achieve this formatting using SVG or any other workaround in Power BI?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Measure 1 → the static source name (e.g. Market Research ) – place in a Card with bold formatting.
Measure 2 → the dynamic date (e.g. Data as of: 01 September 2024 ) – place in a second Card with normal formatting.
Align the two Cards side-by-side (or stack horizontally inside a container) so it appears like one sentence.

Hi @Krushnab85,
Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Fabric Forum Community, and special thanks to @mh2587 for prompt and helpful response.
It’s not possible in Power BI by default to have part of the same text string (like the source name) appear in bold and the rest (like the refresh date) in normal formatting inside a single card or text measure. Power BI visuals only allow uniform formatting across the entire text.
The best possible workaround is to create two separate measures as suggested by @mh2587 one for the bold source name and another for the refresh date and place them side by side, so they visually appear as a single sentence.
Thanks & Regards,
