    It seems you should use a DAX query to build a column that meets your requirements.

    After that you would need to put this column into Row-based Metric Name if you use Row based data.

    As an alternative you might turn off metric name column and use Category data field instead.

Hi Anonymous

 

If my undertstanding is cirrect you wants to show dates. Is that correct?

If this is correct you should turn on As of Date column via Format Panel.

    Thanks for the Response.

     

    No, I want to display the Metric Name having fixed Text (Historical Min) and concatenating with variable measure which brings back different dates based on the filters applied So my requirement is typically to create a dynamic measure name...

     

    I know how to create a dynamic measure name but I can't retrofit into this visual as per my needs.

     

    Let me know if I miss any thing.

        I have run into similiar sorting question.  I am not quite sure how DAX query could work for custom sort, I even embed a seperate rank table including table ID, rowID in a rank table, intended to join back to the main reporting table for custom sorting but doesnt work on Matrix or Table format.  

         

        Another alternative is to have a rank row build in the report table, the sort could only enabled while the sort field display.  Turning off would remove the sort.  

         

        Also tried https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Custom-Sorting-in-PowerBI/td-p/126534 method, but couldn't make the relationship work.  

         

        Besides, my team is collaborating with the same file by passing on upon completion, each time the queries point to different path and might had messed up the other embedded functions.  Is there any better way for team collaboration?  The server collaboration doesn't allow download file, if so it would run into the same problem upon editing the DAX queries right?

         

        Any help will be greatly appreciated!

        Thanks,
