    Thank you that is not an option for now I'm trying to showcase this to our company so that we can move forward with Power BI.

     

    I've got a work around, I'm using a table with style none, column hearders same color as the background, so It appears that works.

     

    It's not as nice as a card but still it will work until Microsoft gets around to fixing it.

     

    Thank you,

antoniofallucca,

 

For a card visual, it will aggregate your column values automatically. For text value, the default aggregate function is FIRST.

 

If you want to show all values in your dataset, you could use table visual.

    As you can see I don't have that option I believe that it is because I'm using direct query and I'm not importing the data.  We have a very powerful server and this is how our company wants us to do it.

     

    Is there anything else you can think of?

     

    Thanks,

      antoniofallucca,

       

      I have tested it on my local environment, we can reproduce this issue. It seems this is the default setting for multidimensional database by using directquery mode.

        So this is the default setting issue in SSAS, what setting do I change to correct the issue?

         

        Thank you,
