Refering to "Objects" of/in PowerBI-File by DAX e.g. Page Names

[thomasreick]

Hello there,

Is there a "generic" way to read e.g. Page Names of Sheets in PBI and make use of them within DAX-Programming?

I would like to have a measure, which gets its result from the PowerBI Metadata. PBI knows what obejts are on what page, so there should be some dictionary to read from.

Measures:

lblPageHeadline = [resulting_expression]

headlines =

var vPage1 = "Headline to show on page 1"

var vPage2 = "Headline to show on page 2"

var vPage3 = "Headline to show on page 3"

var vPageXY = "Headline to show on page XY"

var resulting_expression = IF ( ME.PageName = Metadata.Page1, vPage1,

IF( Me.PageName=MetadataPage2,vPage2,

IF( Me.PageName=MetadataPage3,vPage3,"No Headline"

)))

return

resulting_expression

Can you give some hints wether this is possible or not?

thank you in advance

Thomas
