How do I add calculated fields in the Legend Title other than just static text?

Hi everyone, 

How do I add calculated fields in the Legend Title other than just static text?

I see the fx buttn but it isn't useful at all - not like in SSRS where you can do [xyz & $field $ "static text"]

@Boyan you have to precalculate a measure and then use that in FX, it is not like SSRS where it allows you to enter your formula. Read this more info.

Hi @Boyan 

 

ALL the fx buttons are used to insert measure to make the titles, legends, formatting automated and dinamyc. 

 

So you need to create a measure. Something similar to

 

Legend title = MAX(Table[YEAR]) & " - Total Sales" & Sum(table[Sales])
