Matrix Column header formatting

Hi 

 

I am having a requirement where I should concatenate Measure Name with another Measure Content. To be detailing, I am having Workitems, Open Date and SalesRep columns in my data. I am trying to create a matrix table where in populating Number of Open Workitems in last week (for instance 4/25/2021 to 5/1/2021) by Created by SalesRep. I was able to get the counts for last week open Workitems. But what I am trying to do is in the matrix column header I wanted to show "WorkItemsOpened Last Week 4/25/2021 to 5/1/2021" instead of actual value header. Referring to below table "Open" is the measure name  and respective values and I have another measure Measure 2 which returns "Open WorkItems for last week 4/25/2021-5/1/2021)".    So in Matrix column header I wanted to Dislay "Open WorkItems for last week 4/25/2021-5/1/2021)" instead of "Open". Appreciate for help.

@Anonymous Generally you would do something like that in a separate Card visual. You create a measure to concatenate things and then drop it into a Card visual. Not sure how you would pull that off as a matrix column header, especially if you want it to be dynamic.

I totally agree, where I need some help will this be feasible to do in table or matrix.

Unfortunately, it's impossible to achieve the idea in current version.
