In general, there are 2 ways you can format text.
- If you are using the PRO version of the visual, you can change it in the format settings of the visual. In the screenshot below you can see the format settings which you can change. Of course, on top of this, you can change any kind of format with HTML code.
- You can use HTML to add formatting and this is really what makes this visual so powerful! Take a look at the Knowledge Base to learn how you can do this.
Note that HTML code will gain precedence over the settings you apply to the visual.
Of course! For maximum flexibility, DAX measures can also be used.
To create fully dynamic text which is also dynamically formatted, you can combine DAX with HTML. This might sound difficult but actually it isn't, take a look at the Knowledge Base to learn how to do it.
And if you still have questions after looking at the Knowledge Base, just get in touch with us, we're happy to help you out.

Absolutely, yes! The HTML Viewer was a popular visual but it was also lacking one important feature. It couldn't handle measures. This is one of the big advantages of the HTML Text Styler over the HTML Viewer so yes, this visual can definitely replace the other one and can do even more.
