Hi!
I'm trying to do something I thought would be simple, but I'm having trouble getting it right. I want to create a title at the top of my dashboard page that has the fixed text "SALES DASHBOARD" concatenated with the [Year] and [Area] values the user selected in the Year and Area filters on my dashboard. It would be something like this: "SALES DASHBOARD " && MyTable[Year] && MyTable[Area]".
I tried creating this metric like this, but I get an error message.
_measure =
"SALES DASHBOARD " &&
IF(
HASONEFILTER(MyTable[Year]),
VALUES(MyTable[Year]),
IF(
HASONEFILTER(MyTable[Area]),
VALUES(MyTable[Area]),
""
))
How can I do this?

Hello @nok
The issue is that VALUES() returns a table, not a scalar value, which causes the error when used inside a string concatenation. To fix this, you’ll want to use CONCATENATEX() to convert selected values into a string.
DashboardTitle =
"SALES DASHBOARD " &
IF (
ISFILTERED ( MyTable[Year] ),
" - " & CONCATENATEX ( VALUES ( MyTable[Year] ), MyTable[Year], ", " ),
""
) &
IF (
ISFILTERED ( MyTable[Area] ),
" - " & CONCATENATEX ( VALUES ( MyTable[Area] ), MyTable[Area], ", " ),
""
)
