Hi @bilingual ,

You can create a measure as below:

Measure =
VAR _mindate =
    CALCULATE ( MIN ( 'Table'[Date] ), ALLSELECTED ( 'Table' ) )
VAR _maxdate =
    CALCULATE ( MAX ( 'Table'[Date] ), ALLSELECTED ( 'Table' ) )
RETURN
    FORMAT ( _mindate, "mmmm YYYY" ) & " - "
        & FORMAT ( _maxdate, "mmmm YYYY" )

Then use this measure as a dynamic title for your visuals. To do this, select the visual, go to the Format pane, enable Title, click on the three dots next to the title text, and select Conditional formatting. In the dialog box that appears, select the measure you created for your title.
