Dynamic title

Hi all

 

I would like to have a dynamic title for a table, the title includes the dates and a code when users select from slicer.  I got the formula below to add in the week ending Friday date and it works (however I don't quite understand the UNICHAR (10) and I just copied it from Google and it seems works).  Now I need to add in the code and I have issue as the code is a combination of number and character, e.g. 2122AB

 

Please could anyone help me how to edit the formula below:

 

Titel = "Report - "SELECTEDVALUE(Dates[Week Ending Friday]) & UNICHAR(10) & "update at "Selectedvalue('Code[report_code]) & UNICHAR (10)
 
Many thanks.

UNICHAR(10) is a line break

What is the issue with the code? A combination of numbers and characters should be stored as text and concatenate just fine.

Sorry, the formula doesn't work is:

 

Title = "Report - "SELECTEDVALUE(Dates[Week Ending Friday]) & UNICHAR(10) & "update at "Selectedvalue('Code'[report_code])

 

I have typo missing the ' from the Code above.

Thank you, then I don't require a line break at the end of the formula.  However, even I have removed the last bit, the code doesn't show.

 

Title = "Report - "SELECTEDVALUE(Dates[Week Ending Friday]) & UNICHAR(10) & "update at "Selectedvalue('Code[report_code])

 

The title shows as Report - 15 October 2021

update at

 

The code supposes to be appeared after the text 'update at 2122AB'

 

2122AB is a text.
