Dynamic Column Name change Based on Slicer Selection

[Anonymous]

I have a measure named current year(2021-2022) and Prev Year (2020-2021).

My requirement is to change the column name based on the slicer selection, here the slicer is year column.

Example : When i select 2020-2021 and 2021-2022 in the display Year slicer, my current year column should change as "2021-2022" and prev year column should be "2020-2021"

Can anyone help me how to write DAX to change the column name dynamically ?

output is as below

display year is slicer selection

Hi @Anonymous

You can use matrix visual to get that effect. The process is probably: create two measures, one is used to return the dynamic column header, and the other measure is placed in the value field of matrix. FYI: Dynamic column header in Matrix, Message 3.

Or you need a hybrid table workaround. Display two years using an independent table and then create a hybrid table

if you are looking for a Hybrid display with Matrix Column and measure

Show 2 year when 1 is selected - then use Hybrid Table

can i set column name in dax base on slicer selection.

below is my dax.

current Year =

CALCULATE(sum(Sales[F Net Value_CR]),FILTER(Master_Calendar,Master_Calendar[F Year]=year(TODAY()-365) ))

Pre Year = CALCULATE(sum(Sales[F Net Value_CR]),FILTER(Master_Calendar,Master_Calendar[F Year]=year(TODAY()-730)))

if i select 2020-2021 , column name should be change current Year to  (2021-2022) and pre year change to 2020-2021.

output is showing as below
