Text data type measure is not working in Text Box

Hi,

 

I am trying to use a text data type measure in Text Box of Power BI Desktop but its not reading the measure name.

 

However measures having numeric values are working fine in Text Box and Q&A is also enabled.

 

Connection Source: Live Power BI dataset

 

Screenshot is attached, please go through it and help.

Hi @Chandanfnf ,

 

You could try to use the card visual instead of the text box. Just put the measure into the card visual, it will display the results as text format.
