Dynamic Column Name change Based on Slicer Selection
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

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.
