    Hi，SteveCarter1 

     

    This issue has reported it internally (ICM 272944389). 

    After confirmation, text box with dynamic value can't be pinned to dashaboard. It is by design, not a bug.

Hi SteveCarter1 

Yes, I've been able to reproduce the problem with my data and confirm your experience. It feels like a bug issue to me, if you have basic support you may want to submit a ticket.

To be honest I've never really used a dynamic value in a text box. If needed I create a measure like this..

Txtbx="The sum of sales is " && SUM(Winesales[CASESSOLD])

Then put that measure on a card, then pin the card to the dashboard. That will accomplish what you want.

Hope this helps

Stuart

    Dynamic values in text boxes are aweesome 🙂 A lot easier to implement and change, in my opinion, than the Measures solution, which I have also used.

    Will look at where to raise an issue to check if already mentioned and raise one if I can't find a match.
