Use font sizes not in dropdown list in text box

It should be possible to create a text box with a font size not in the dropdown list in an easier way. Right now it is not possible to select font sizes not in the list, e.g. the dropdown list gives options of 8, 9, 10, 10.5, 11, 12, 14 etc. but what if I want 13 point font in order to make a label fit in a report? It is possible to do this by opening up a document in Microsoft Word, entering your text and setting font size to 13, and then pasting into Power BI. It should be possible to set a custom font size directly in Power BI like it is in Word.

Hi,

 

Yes, it is weird that 13 fort size is not available in the case of the text box. I faced the same challenge too. 

 

As a workaround, I created a measure like below-

measure = "Type you label text here"

 

and used this measure in a card visual. Turn off the card headers, title, category for this visual and it will work like a text box.

Most importantly you can size it accodindly what you want.

Using it as a measure gives some advanced options like you may hide it or show it based on any condition in measure itself.

 

Thank you!
