One dynamic value not working

I'm creating tool tips for my bar charts have had no problem until this one value.  All other elements are dynamically updating, except this one.  I have other charts, with my final formatting, with the same types of values that work fine, but for some reason this one just won't.  Any troubleshooting advice?

 

This is what is expected.  The x-label shows up properly in the tool tip:

This is what is happening.  Only the x-label one is not working, even though it's set up the exact same was the one above.

Note: This particular field is also not working when I try to use it in a Subtitle fx, where I have it filtered to Top 1 Sum of Margin Offset for Year 2024.  It's only showing corp, eventhough there are no corp in 2024.

Hi @jam17 

Create a new measure which selects the column you want:

Then reference this variable in your dynamic value:

Hi @jam17 

What function are you using to return the name?
SelectedValue(table[ColumnName]) should work.

I'm using the dynamic text tool.

This is the setup for current licenes - which works.

And this is the setup for launch licenses, which doesn't work.
