Add filter value into the report header

Hi, I'm trying to use the date filter in to report the report header, for example I have created a report on the fiscal year 2013-2014 but once I change the fiscal year to 2-14-2015 it should refres...

    mroomi Try this another approach. Download custom visual called Long Text Viewer from here. Drop same field in this visual as your report filter. Format it so that it looks like your report header. Then whenever a value is selected in your filter visual will also be filtered.

    mroomi, Example below  

     

    Measure Defined a below:

     

    Filtered Year = IF ( ISFILTERED(vw_Name[PSPStatus]), CONCATENATE("Document Count for the Fiscal Year ", (IF(HASONEVALUE(vw_Name[PSPStatus]), FIRSTNONBLANK(vw_Name[PSPStatus],"") ,""))), "Report Page is not Filtered by FY")

     

    Table Data:

    Table DataNo Values in Filter

     

    Noticed that Long Text Visual is unable to take Measure as an input ...

     

    Hope this helps!

Thanks,

I tried to create a simple one but I get the following error

 

Title = if (HASONEVALUE(vw_Name[PSPStatus]),vw_Name[PSPStatus])

 

Error = "A single value for column 'PSPStatus' in table 'vw_Name' cannot be determined. This can happen when a measure formula refers to a column that contains many values without specifying an aggregation such as min, max, count, or sum to get a single result."

 

Actually what I'm trying to do is to when ever the user changes the value of the filter it reflects in the report headrer.

Looks like you table vw_Name has multiple values  for  PSPStatus. 

 

I am assuming that you have this a column as a single select filter.  

 

You will have to consider situations for 

Whether it is filtered  or not  ..using ISFILTERED

      If is not filtered, then you will have to handle the case by having  an appropriate text - can be blank too .

      If it is indeed filtered, then you check for HASONEVALUE(vw_Name[PSPStatus])  

                  The True part is easy  just display the first value.  

                  For the False part you may need to have some logic to eithe take min or max or first etc...

 

Some thing like  below  and used the "Filtered Year" measure  in a card  visual and size it as needed 

 

Filtered Year  = IF ( ISFILTERED(vw_Name[PSPStatus]), CONCATENATE("Report Page is Filtered for FY for ", (IF(HASONEVALUE(vw_Name[PSPStatus]), FIRSTNONBLANK(vw_Name[PSPStatus],"") ,""))), "Report Page is not Filtered by FY")
