Tachometer value not showing correct after Value update

Hi all,

I am fairly new to Power BI, hope you can help me with this rather annoying issue. 

In visualisation Fields, when I remove the Value and readd it (with the exact same value), then the Callout value changes to 1, each and every time

Example: In the example below, Value was set to a measure m_kpi1 (=92.2%).

 

 

I have many KPIs. For consistency in format and setup, I sure would like to copy paste and update the Fields with a different Value, and ranges, instead of starting from scratch. 

Thank you in advance

With the set-up explained above, after trying different approaches to update, it appears to me that it is not possible to update update the value, unless you update all fields. Potential bug 

This workaround worked for me:

1- First remove clear Value AND ALL other fields

(I noticed that the last removed field still appears as if it was not removed. Confusing! Yet if I click outside the visualisation and click back in, then the last field also correct itself to being blank)

2- Begin with assigning the Value again. 

(If I do not start with Value, my issue above would not get resolved) 

3- Add the remaining fields

Hi,  Thanks for your help. I dont undrstand how links to demos in how to using it resolves this specific issue. I dont have a problem using it. I have a problem with updating it. A potential bug. 

It could be helpful if you/someone can verify that they are able to reproduce the same issue
