Change dax name by selecting value

feralvarez994 — Fri, 10 Jun 2022 16:32:40 GMT

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!

There are no dynamic names for measures.

As of now only you can have a dynamic table/visual title.

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.
