Dynamically update the column header

This looks same as previous post., but the solution was not provided correctly. The URL was not working.

I appreciate if anyone helps to provide the solution.

 

https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Source-Data-Column-Header-Changes-each-month/m-p/541727#M25...

 

My dataset is a financial report showing actuals and forecast. July - June.

Example (4 Columns)

Actual July 2018

Actual August 2018

Actual September 2018

Forecast October 2018

I have prepared a visual based on these current column headers.

However next month when the report is run the column "Forecast October 2018" will become "Actual October 2018".
