There are missing parameters in order for us to understand what you are trying to achieve...

1. Is the text supposed to be on an oval not a circle?
2. Does the text need to be only half of the oval/circle, or can it go beyond a semi circular wrap?
3. What is the width height of the oval?

 

 Part of the problem is because you have the text on an oval not a circle; is this deliberate or should it be a circle? 

If it is supposed to be on an oval the width of the text isn't going to follow the curve of that oval as well as it would if it was a circular curve. Part of a solution to the oval issue would be to use a condensed font but you may still have to convert the text to curves and slightly rotate the character curves to look better. In my example below I used a font from 1001fonts called Built Titling it's a tall font.

 

Another part of your problem is taking into account the base line of the fonts height so simply typing 4.5cm in the font size will not get you a font that is visibly 4.5cm because part of that height is taken up with the base line. see image below. Again if there is a constraint with regard to the text being limited to the arc of 180º (semi circle) then the only other course of action would be to stretch the font using the vertical scale setting in the character panel.

If on the other hand the text can go beyond the 180º arc  then you need to find the height of the base line and add that to the height of the font, so in this case using the Built Titling font the base line was 1.09cm adding that to the height you actually want the visible font to be gets you an height of 5.59cm but even then you might need to tweak the font size to get an accurate actual height that touches the outer guide.

 

 

i need semicircular round text. with a text height of 4.5 cm.
but why am I a little bit hard to get it in Affinity. it's not as easy as I do it in Illustrator.
This is a request for a font from a customer and if it is replaced I will have to talk to him.
What you say is very helpful. Thank you for your help

@firstdefence

thanks for helping .. but i need 4.5 cm font height. and I have tried it but there are still a few letters that do not follow the circle line shown in the arrow

Affinity is great .. please tell me how to tidy up the circular text if there are any other menus. I dont know.
but in illustrator it automatically follows a circle and lots of choices.
thank you...
