Hi @Anonymous,

As I tested, if the measure absolute is blank(you add nothing in the field level), the category text will not show in the Scroller Visual. You can add the category in category field, add the any measure of Category itself as Measure Absolute field. For example, I create the following sample table.

I want to show the Category column value, I select it as Category and [count of Category] as Measure Absolute. Please see the following screenshot.

I don't think you can show text values in measure absolut. That has to be a calculation. You can just plot it in category.
