Hi everyone,
I'm facing an issue with the new Card visual in Power BI.
📌 Scenario:
In Power BI Desktop, I created a New Card visual where I:
Used a placeholder measure as the primary value
Hid the primary value, because I only want to show the Detail label
In the Detail label, I display the correct measure and add custom text (e.g., "Total: 123")
✅ Expected Behavior:
In Power BI Desktop, everything looks fine — the primary value is hidden, and only the detail label is shown.
❌ Actual Behavior in Power BI Service:
After publishing the report to the Power BI Service:
The primary value (which is hidden in Desktop) is being displayed again in the visual.
It seems the service is ignoring the visibility setting for the primary value.
🧪 What I’ve Tried:
Rechecked all visibility settings in the visual
Republished the report
Cleared browser cache and used "Reset to default" in the service
Tried using a BLANK() measure as primary value — this works as a workaround
Also tested formatting the font color to white, which visually hides it but is not ideal
📎 Additional Info:
Using the latest version of Power BI Desktop (April 2025)
The issue persists across browsers and in different tenants
This behavior is inconsistent between Power BI Desktop and Power BI Service
🔍 Question:
Has anyone else experienced this? Is this a known issue or expected behavior in the new Card visual?
Any help or workaround would be appreciated. Thanks!
