Convert Date to MMM YYYY with Display title function

evahohk — Sun, 03 Jul 2022 23:35:46 GMT

I have used display title function to display text box value based on filters in Power BI

DisplayTitle =

"Reporting period : "

& CONCATENATEX (

VALUES(('ABC Data'[Period Ending]))

, ('ABC Data'[Period Ending])

," , "

)

That's how it shows in the table
I'm looking for formula to change 1/3/2022 to Mar 2022 in the above coding

Hi evahohk

Please try this:

Format = var _date = FORMAT(MAX('Table'[Column1]),"MMM YYYY") return concatenate ("Reporting period : ",_date)

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks getting back to me. Sorry that I'm still a beginner of Power BI
Can you please advise the procedure ? Do I need to create a new measure as below ?

Format = 

var _date = FORMAT(MAX('Table'[Column1]),"MMM YYYY")

return concatenate ("Reporting period : ",_date)

or how can I add the above coding in DisplayTitle ?

DisplayTitle =

"Reporting period : "

& CONCATENATEX (

VALUES(('ABC Data'[Period Ending]))

, ('ABC Data'[Period Ending])

," , "

)

Hi evahohk ,

Please tell me why you wrote your measure with Values() and Concatenex()? Can you share your .pbix?

I actually copied measures from another website.
How can I change the dynamic heading based on selection ?
e.g. Period Ending January 2022, then it will show Reporting period : Jan 2022
or select period ending January 2022 to February 2022, it will show Reporting period : Jan 2022 to Feb 2022
Sorry I'm not too sure how can I share .pbix. in this platform.
I have attached screenshot of the Power BI file.

Could you share some sample data in 'ABC Data'[Period Ending]? (If you can't share files, you can share screenshots, thanks.)

Hi Tang,

e.g. If I select Period Ending January 2022, then it will show the heading as Reporting period : Jan 2022
or select period ending January 2022 to February 2022, it will show Reporting period : Jan 2022 to Feb 2022

Hi evahohk

Thanks for your reply.

>> If I select Period Ending January 2022, then it will show the heading as Reporting period : Jan 2022

You can try this measure

title = "Reporting period : " &FORMAT( SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Column1]),"MMM YYYY")

>> select period ending January 2022 to February 2022, it will show Reporting period : Jan 2022 to Feb 2022

In fact, if only one date is selected, the above effect cannot be achieved, so usually we need to select two dates in the slicer to get the period

try this measure,

title = IF(ISFILTERED('Table'[Column1]),IF(ISBLANK(SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Column1])),"Reporting period : "&FORMAT( minx(ALLSELECTED('Table'),[Column1]),"MMM YYYY")&" to "&format(MAXX(ALLSELECTED('Table'),[Column1]),"MMM YYYY"),"Reporting period : " &FORMAT( SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Column1]),"MMM YYYY")))
