Scroll bar for text in a card

I have a text field in my database that contains a narrative and can on occasion be very long.   If I use a table visual element I will get a scoll bar so the text not being displayed can be accessed...

    Hi mklevemann  in this case you need to try with custom visual. 

    Here is an example with  Shielded HTML Viewer

    When text in Card Visual:

     

    Same Measure in  Shielded HTML Viewer

     

    It has scrollbar, only the problem is it is not free. 

     

    Thanks

    Hi @mklevemann, you cant have a scroll bar in a card visual, however you can have a scroll bar in a Text Box. Now you can add dynamic Measure in a text box. If you capture the long text in your measure and place that as dynamic text in Text Box visual, you will get a scroll bar.

     

    I have created a dummy Measure with long text and added as dynamic value.

     

    Below is how the text box looks like:

    This is done in case you want to avoid custom visuals.

    If this helps to resolve your problem, then please mark it as solution.

    Thanks - Samrat
