advanced SWITCH usage

Hello,

I am using switchs like this to dynamically change my columns in a table:

 

 

-1 = 
SWITCH(
[Selected Measure],
1,[Users_M1],
2,[Users_Q1],
3,[Users_Y1]
)

-2 = 
SWITCH(
[Selected Measure],
1,[Users_M2],
2,[Users_Q2]
)

-3 = 
SWITCH(
[Selected Measure],
1,[Users_M3],
2,[Users_Q3]
)

1) How can i add no columns if there is no values or column doesn't exists ? (year -2 and year-3 doesn't exists)
2) How can i dynamically rename the column name in my table "-1" to "-1 Month" if the selection is 1 or "-1 Quarter" if the selection is 2 ?

If you're talking about raw tables in PBI, then they must be static out of necessity. You can't change them on the fly. Easy as that. If you're talking about visuals... then some of the functionalities might not be available, either. For instance, I don't think you can dynamically change the headers of a column in a matrix or table visual.

@Anonymous ,

1. I think you need to have a default value in case of measure slicer

2. You can rename title , I doubt you can rename column based on selection
