Part of text to be bold using DAX

Hi,

 

  I want to make my part of text bold like the headers of each points. And this text is dynamic so can't use Text Box.

 

  Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Sud

For those that found this question through Google/Bing, 
I personally found a workaround by adding the `HTML5 Custom Visual` and creating a measure with HTML syntax.

OKR1_SmartNarrative = 

"<span style='color:blue;font-weight: bold'>"
& FORMAT([AppliedViaLinkedIn_%OfTotal], "Percent")  
& "</span>"
& " of applicants applied via LinkedIn between "
& FIRSTDATE('Date'[Date])
& " and "
& LASTDATE('Date'[Date])
& " (" & COUNTROWS('Date') & " days)"
& " for " 
& "<span style='color:red'>"
& Count(ApplicantsFact[Applicant]) 
& "</span>"
& " applicants."

I'm not used to HTML. I've just written out the DAX for a column like this, which has lots of fields presented as text. Is it as simple as adding the style stuff that you've done into my calculated column written in DAX?

Hi Sud,

 

Maybe you can put several Textbox and a Card visual together. Then you can have the format and dynamic text.
