KPI Measure 'goal' word change

I am trying to create a KPI visual where I compare measure from current year to prior year.

Is there anyway I can change the word 'Goal' to someting else ? its not really a goal in my case. Also , the percentage next to goal is little misleading and seems I can not get rid of it. 

 

Untimalty, I want the 'goal' to be a customized word such as 'prior year' and mark the percentage next to current indicator to show difference instead of next to goal.

 

Thanks,

    Hi PowerBI_Yonghu,

     

    If you want to use previous year’s total as goal, you could try to use below measure

    Measure =
VAR maxy =
    MAX ( 'KPI'[year] )
RETURN
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( 'KPI'[amount] ),
        FILTER ( ALL ( 'KPI' ), 'KPI'[year] = maxy - 1 )
    )

    But if you want to change goal text, I think you can’t achieve your goal, this is not supported currently, you could vote in Change KPI "Goal" to another text.

      Thank you! This is helpful. I would like the % trend to be next to the indicator instead of the comparison year which makes more sense.
