Change Chart Title based on Chart Selection

Hi

 

I have a standard bar chart, as I click on the bars I want the title to change. At the moment the title changes only if it is filtered by another chart but I want a selection action on the same bar chart to change the title. This is the DAX for the title currently 

HEI Dynamic = SELECTEDVALUE('Combined Int'[HEI], "All HEIs")
 
Thanks
 
Steve

Hi Steve,

Unfortunately it doesn't work that way 😞

The title measure is evaluated in same "overall" filter context as the visual itself, not taking into account any selections made on the visual.

 

One workaround is to create a separate visual or text box to act as the title. 

Regards
