multi row card data labels issue (not working)

[Anonymous]

Format values in multi row card not working. When we try to change the Color or Text size or Font family we can't see any formating. I am using a DAX calculation in multi row card. PFA screenshot.

Dax calculation used: 

Calc_KPI Dax  =

VAR selection =

SWITCH (

[Calc _ Filter Type],

1, " Last year",

2, " Last quarter",

3, " Last month"

)

RETURN

CONCATENATE (

IF(ISBLANK([Calc_Dax Pre count]),0, [Calc_Dax Pre count]),

selection

)

The category labels only work for numeric values. 

For example, if I have some measure "Count Employees" with a multi-row card with Category Labels set to ON, it works fine and I get a result like: 

1,200

Employees 

However, if I wrap my "Count Employees" measure with a Format() function changing the result from a Numeric type to a string type the category label, although still turned on, no longer shows. I'll get a result like: 

1,200

I think this is a bug. The category label shouldn't care about the data type of the value displayed.

Hi @Anonymous 

I can reproduce your problem.

As a workaround, when there is only one column or one measure in Muti-row card , change the "Card title" formatting instead.

Hi @v-juanli-msft,

I am having the same issue. The workaround does not help when you have multiple fields to display. I have a text field (a growth % with a UNICHAR() up or down arrow) that is always converted to the "Card Title" and you cannot show the category label. I have other numbers that need to be displayed in the same card so this workaround is not an option.

Thank you,

Hi Sukun,

Your Multi-Card screenshot is not visible at all. Please upload it for clear understanding.

Similarly, Multi-card visual should support formatting of your text, color, etc.

And in other hand, your DAX Measure seems like it retunr a scalar value. Then, what it the use in using multi-card over here?

Hi Pradeep,

I have uploaded the screenshot. Also I'm using multirow because it can be left aligned where as card can be only center align.

Thanks,
