    Hi madrid

     

    Based on my test, I cannot reproduce your scenario, would you please take the following steps to check whether the issue could be solved:

    1. Clear your browser's cache and cookies and try again.

    2. Please unpublished your app and republish it again.

     

    Until the problem is solved, as a workaround:

    You can use Card visual on Power BI desktop instead and try to create a Measure like this: Measure = "Text content you want to display".

    Then put this measure into Card visual, turn off category label in the visual formatting, and you will get a graphic like the one shown below.

     

     

     

    You can resize it to your satisfaction in the report and place it in the right place.

     

    In addition, under mode 1 (Report in workspace) and mode 2 (Report in App), reports do not have additional special names, they are still called reports.

     

    Hope it helps,

    Finally I figured out the reason: After click on Publish from Power BI desktop, I need to go to PBI services (web) to click "Update App" in order to update the visualalization (if not, only data is updated but not the visual).
