Dynamic title for a bar chart linked with a matrix

I have a matrix with sales of 3 different categories, and an accompany bar graph as follow:

hainguyen28_0-1737422597278.png

I want to create a dynamic title for the bar chart. For example, if I click on Office Supplies in the matrix, then the title of the bar chart would be Total Sales for Office Supplies. Same thing for Furniture and Technology. 

 

Can anyone please show me how to do that?

Hi @hainguyen28 
Since the essence of a dynamic title lies in indicating whether the visualization is filtered, this can only work if you set the interaction to "filter" rather than "highlight."

So you should modify interactions for "filter"

And then use measure like :
