Text Measures in Smart Narratives

How can we add measures formatted as text into text boxes as Smart Narrative values?  Is this possible anymore?  It seemed to work fine in older PBIX files we've developed.  I've checked other questions submitted to this forum, and many of them suggest that calculation groups could be to blame, however we are not using calculation groups in this model.
