Change dax name by selecting value

Hi everyone! I have a SWITCH dax that returns different values depending on the user selection, the thing is that i want to show different names by the value chosed by the user. This is the syntax of the dax used

 

Variable =
var variable = SWITCH( TRUE(), [Selected Metric] = "Bruto" && [Selected Moneda] = "Pesos", [Bruto Total],
[Selected Metric] = "Neto" && [Selected Moneda] = "Pesos", [Neto Total],
[Selected Metric] = "Costo Total" && [Selected Moneda] = "Pesos", [Costos Total],
[Selected Metric] = "Bruto" && [Selected Moneda] = "Dolares", [Bruto USD],
[Selected Metric] = "Neto" && [Selected Moneda] = "Dolares", [Neto USD],
[Selected Metric] = "Costo Total" && [Selected Moneda] = "Dolares", [Costo Total / USD])

return IF(ISBLANK(variable), 0, variable)
 

 

The thing is that when i show that Variable in the Table, it shows always the same title ("Variable") and i want it to retrieve different name by the Metric chosed before (Bruto/Neto/Costo Total)
 
Thank you everyone!

    Hi feralvarez994 ,

    According to your description, your formula is not creating a dynamic measure name, but dynamic value based on different condition. As ribisht17  mentioned, dynamic measure name can't be created. If you want to get the expected result, you can create a new table like this:

    Put it in the Matrix Columns, then create a measure use SWITCH like yours to calculate the different values according to the new column.
