Dynamic Title (Last year unless it's currently Q2 +)

[agd50]

How would you create a dynamic text that states to put the previous year if it's Q1?

Hi @agd50 ,

We can create a measure.

Dynamic Year Title = 
VAR CurrentDate = TODAY()
VAR CurrentYear = YEAR(CurrentDate)
VAR CurrentQuarter = QUARTER(CurrentDate)
RETURN
IF(CurrentQuarter = 1, FORMAT(CurrentYear - 1, "0"), FORMAT(CurrentYear, "0"))

This formula checks the current date and determines the quarter. If it's the first quarter (Q1), the formula subtracts one year from the current year to display the previous year. Otherwise, it displays the current year.

Go to the visual where you want to display the dynamic title. In the "Format" pane, find the "Title" section. Click on the "fx" button to enable conditional formatting. Choose "Format by" as "Field value" and select the measure you created.

Please  provide a more detailed information. What does Q1 refer to? - today's date or the selected date in a slicer? Do you have separate dates table or you're using the fact table?
