Show measure name in Matrix Visual

I want to find a way to display measure name in a table - so here I would like to see information that the measure used is "sales sum".

It is possible to see measure names when we have more than one but what about when we only have one, is there a way?

Hi @asparagus1_ 

Method -1 :

Simply rename the Row header and add you measure name to it .

Method -2:

 

Add title to your table it gives you proper information about the table.

Method -3:

Add new measure and write below dax

 Null = blank()

then add Null measure to a table.

@asparagus1_  - As a workaround, you can add a second measure with null data and then format it such that the font,header  and backround is white. That way you will have a header for the measure.

You can try and write the name of the measure as a title here.
