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.
Thanks
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.
Best Regards,
Stephen Tao
