Power BI Smart Narrative Design from Scratch using a TextBox and Measures

I am building a smart narrative to be used as TooTip from scratch using a text box as follows:

 

Smart Narrative TextBox.PNGI then want to a dynamic text value using the following measure:

However the value dialogue box does not recognize this measure as text as seen in the following screenshot:

Kindly assist.

Chris

Further to my last post, there seems to be some bugs in the Smart Narrative Visual.  Closing the Power BI file and reopening it and typing the measure gives the correct results as shown below:

Try typing [sales increase/decrease] (with the open/close brackets) and see if it will recognize your measure.
