20. Dynamic Text and Dynamic Colour (Conditional Formatting)

20.5 Cards with Dynamic Labels

  • Card (classic): turn Category label off, and turn General › Title on with fx → a measure such as "Orders – " & [Selected Platform].
  • Card (new): each callout has a Label with fx, and Reference labels can show a second measure such as [Orders MoM %] with its own dynamic colour.
  • Arrow text for change:
Orders MoM Label =
VAR chg = [Orders MoM %]
RETURN IF(ISBLANK(chg), "–", IF(chg >= 0, "▲ ", "▼ ") & FORMAT(ABS(chg), "0.0%") & " vs last month")

Ravindra Bagale's Tip

A common mistake with cards is a label that says "Total Sales" when a slicer has filtered it to one city and one week. Use a dynamic label measure for the card title or category label, so the user always knows what the number covers. Keep this in mind!
