Rename a measure
Hello community.
Is it possible to change the name of a measure automatically?
For example, I have a measure that evaluates quantities for the current day, and I want the name of that measure to be the name of the day I am on it. In this case, the day I am posting this query is Thursday, so the measure should be named "Thursday."
In advance, I appreciate your support.

Hi DanCasSan ,
Currently you can only rename the measure manually in power bi, the name of measure is a static property not dynamic, I'm afraid it could not be changed automatically.
Please refer: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/transform-model/desktop-tutorial-create-measures

I'm pretty sure you can't change a measure name like that. But you can certainly use a measure that posts today's date
TodayDate = today()
then put that in your report somewhere, for example a KPI card.

Anonymous, thanks for your prompt response.
The issue is that I will use it not only as a column heading in an array, but it will also go in a line chart, therefore I need it to be automatic.

Are you able to maybe put one visual on top of the other? So the one visual could have the title, and be above the other one? You could probably adjust the background transparency of the top visual to make it pretty hard to notice
