Dynamic slicer header/title

Hi All,

 

I was wondering if you could help:

 

I have a single-select slicer with a 3 level hierarchy.

I would like to show the lowest value level selected as a slicer header.

The standard "Show summary" functionality ends up showing all the levels of the hierarchy and this measure doesn't seem to work when used as a field value in the slicer header function (although it works when used in a card)

 

Product slicer header =
"Product (select P4 level): " & SELECTEDVALUE( DimProduct[Product Family (P4)]  )
 
Do you know if this is possible?
 
Kind regards,
Olga

Hi @itskool - could you provide an example pic of the incorrect result when you do use the measure as a title?

Here it is: there is a selected valued after semicolon in the card visual but nothing in the header slicer when the same measure is added as a "function"

Hi @itskool - if you've assigned the measure as your title via conditional formatting, I don't see a reason why it wouldn't return the same value as in the card.

 

Dumb question - does it appear when you make the slicer visual larger or the title font size smaller? There may not be enough space in the header to display the full value.

That was my first thought too, but no, unfortunately not 😞
