Dynamic Measure Title Based on Slicer Selection

Dear all,

Is it possble to dynamically change the "title" of a measure according to slicer selection?

I have a simple data structure with tha sales quantity of various product over longer period of time:

and a date table.

 

I have a two measures:

Sales Current_Month = SUM(Sales[Amount])
Sales Prev_Month = CALCULATE([Sales Current_Month], PREVIOUSMONTH('Date'[Period]))

 

As a result I have a slicer and matrix as follows:

But I would like to dynamically change the "title" according to slicer selection to make it much easier for end user to understand on which period they are looking, as follows:

If I would select on slicer period 2020.03, measures title in first column would change to "Sales 2020.02" and second to "Sales 2020.03". Is it possible to do it?

Thank you

    Hi, safrik 

     

    Based on your description, I created data to reproduce your scenario. The pbix file is attached in the end.

    Table:

    Calendar(a calculated table):

    Calendar = 
ADDCOLUMNS(
    CALENDARAUTO(),
    "YearMonth",
    YEAR([Date])*100+MONTH([Date])
)

     

    YM(a calculated table):

    YM = DISTINCT('Calendar'[YearMonth])

     

    Relationship:

     

    You may create a measure like below.

    Result = 
var yearmonth = MAX(YM[YearMonth])
var lastym = 
    CALCULATE(
        MAX('Calendar'[YearMonth]),
        FILTER(
            ALL('Calendar'),
            [YearMonth]<yearmonth
        )
    )
return
IF(
        MAX('Calendar'[YearMonth]) in {yearmonth,lastym},
        SUM('Table'[Amount])
)

     

    Finally you need to use 'YearMonth' column from 'YM' table to filter the result and set the 'Result' as not blank.

     

    Best Regards

      Good day,
      And if I want only one column of my matrix to change, how would the metric formula look? I need that only when choosing a year.month I change the title of the column, and not like in the example of the formula that selects a year.month and changes the title of the matrix to the selected one and changes the previous one to the selected one

      Thank you

        In case there are any doubts, I want that when I select the filter for Accounting period 1, it appears in the title of the first column "FY17", and when I select the filter for Accounting period 2, obtain in the second column the title "FY20 ", as seen in the image:
