text box not showing alternative text of measure

Dear Team,
 
I'm able to show slicer selection in a card visual with following measure

VAR
VarSelectedValueSELECTEDVALUE('d Item Master'[Production.Possible])
Return
SWITCH(True(),
VarSelectedValue = "Production", "Production",
VarSelectedValue = "Purchase", "Purchase",
"All Products"
)

However I cannot implement the measure in a textbox. 
It is only working when I change the Result value in switch function from text to numeric value. 
 
Any ideas how I can dynamically show the slicer selection in a textbox including an alternative text when nothing is selected ? 
 
Thanks a lot in advance
Best Regards
Andreas

Hi v-cgao-msft,

 

In card visual my measures with text subtitle works fine but in text box or smart narrative visual not working. Have any idea why this is happening?

Hi @AnSchmi ,

 

Please consider using Smart Narrative Visual. Just put the name of the measure in the box for how to calculate the value.
