Automatically updating the header section in multiple pages

Hi all and d_gosbell,

 

Currently I have a Power BI File - which has 15 Dashboards. In the Header Section, I have added a Text Box - and manually inputed a Title. This has been done for all the 15 Dashboards pages manually (It's like a Title in the header section of a Word Document for example).

 

Is there a way to automatically update the Main Title in the Header Section in all the Dashboard Pages? As I have another Power BI File - with 30 or more dashboards - and manually updating the Title is very time consuming and repetative.

 

Is there any particular visual I can use instead of a text box? Or is there any other workaround to this? Can it be automated?

 

Thanks in advance for your support!

    When you say "dashboard," do you mean pages within the PBI report ( pbix file )? With one file having 15 pages and another having 30 pages -- that seems like quite a lot. What is the reason you have so many different pages? Also, what differentiates the pages, and the titles? You can create a measure to create a dynamic title as long as it's based on some data element.

      Hello CoreyP ,

       

      Yes in one PBI Report (PBIX File) - I have about 15 or 30 pages in each respectively.

       

      This is because I need to have multiple departments progress to be displayed in one PBIX File itself. Eg: Engineering, Procurement, Warehouse Department, etc.

       

      Right now, I have one common title in all the pages written in a text box. Eg: The Abcd-12 Project.

      Like this title itself I have on all the 15 or 30 pages.

      What sort of measure can I create on the above? It's just one title in all the pages basically - it's just that I need to update it for another project now, so I don't want to manually update all the 30 pages title text boxes.

       

      Let me know! Thanks.

        So, there's always only 1 project title for all the pages? The pages never have different projects at the same time? You can create a manual table, call it "Project Title" or something, with one column, one row, which holds your project title. Then create a measure, Project Title = MAX( 'Project Title'[Project Name] ). Then you can use this measure in a Card visual or something.
