Add Dynamic Year in Column Name

Hi Friends,
Is it possible to add year in column name? 
So it change dynamically based on the year selection.

If I select 2021, prev year column show 2020, 
If I select 2020, prev year column show 2019.

Hi,
It's possible to do it. 
I've done it already.

CURPREV_YEAR = 
VAR Sales = CALCULATE([TOTAL_QTY],DATETABLE[YEAR] = SELECTEDVALUE('YEAR'[YEAR]))
return 
IF(
    SELECTEDVALUE('YEAR'[YEAR]) IN {MAX(DATETABLE[YEAR]),MAX(DATETABLE[YEAR])-1},Sales,BLANK()
)

There are probably a few different ways to solve this.

Just need some extra detail.

If I was to select 2021 from the slicer, are you only wanting to see 2020, or do you expect to see everything AFTER 2020?

 

Have I solved your problem?

As far as I know, Changing the field name dynamically feature is not available.

Add a new measure with the code below?

PreviousYear = SELECTEDVALUE(TableName[Year])+1

Hi FreemanZ,
This is not what I want.
I mean I want to have dynamics year based on my selection.
