Formatting font on multi-row cards
- 1 year ago
Hi sfarooq3
This issue you’re facing with multi-row cards in Power BI is actually a common limitation. When you use fields from dimension tables, the multi-row card visualization treats them as categorical values, allowing you to freely adjust font size, type, and formatting options. However, when the fields come from a fact table, especially numeric measures or aggregated values, the multi-row card often locks down the formatting choices and doesn’t expose the same level of control for font customization. This happens because Power BI’s visual formatting engine handles dimension attributes differently from aggregated fact values. In practice, the workaround is to create measures or calculated columns in your model for those fact fields, then use those measures in the multi-row card—measures typically expose more formatting options than raw fields. Alternatively, some users switch to a table or card visual (styled to mimic a multi-row card) for more control over formatting. So yes, others have run into this limitation, and using measures or alternate visuals is the usual way around it.
