Text Box not picking up measures

Hi, 

I have a Power BI file with quite a large amount of data which is not finding any of the meaures I have created to be included in the text box as dynamic values. 

I have another Power BI file which it is working for, does anyone know if this function does not work as good if there is a huge amount of data?

Hi @shaunb94 ,
From what I understand, you can apply your measure by selecting the text select function button under format and selecting field value. of course you have to make sure your dax expression is correct. For large datasets, performance issues may prevent the measure from displaying correctly. Please consider optimizing your data model for better performance.

For information on how to display dynamic metrics in a text box, you can refer to this documentation
Add a Localized Labels table to a Power BI report - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

Best regards,
