I'm about to include 2017 sales data in a dashboard. I have lots of instances where I want to show just the most recent year of data. I can set formulas to reference a measure where I feed in the latest year - this is fine.
What I can't work out how to do is change all my measure names which previously referred to 2016 en masse. e.g. I would want to change "2016 YTD sales" to "2017 YTD sales".
In Excel I could easily make titles and variable names dynamically refer to the latest year, but do I have to make these changes one-by-one in Power BI?
Hi @Steve88,
What's your formulas to reference a measure where I feed in the latest year? Could you please share the formala in Excel, so I test if it can be transfered to DAX formuma in DAX?
Best Regards,

Hi Angelina,
It's not the DAX formula I want to change (that already automatically picks out the latest year), it's the name of the measure. e.g. let's say I have several measures:
2016 Product 1 YTD Sales = [working DAX formula 1]
2016 Product 1 Market Share = [working DAX formula 2]
2016 Product 2 YTD Sales = [working DAX formula 3]
2016 Product 2 Market Share = [working DAX formula 4]
I want to be able to, e.g. find and replace all instances of "2016 Product" with "2017 Product" in the names of my measures.

Hi @Steve88,
Unfortunately, there is currently no functionality to do what you describe in both cases. We only change the measure name manually.
