Use a numeric parameter to dynamically name field parameter columns

I have two numeric (what if) paramters that I am using to calculate two measures.  The  user need to be able to input number in these paramters in order to change the number of days being looked back...

    Hi dsptchr68 ,

     

    The problem here is that you want to add a dynamic name for a table based on a measure, but you cannot use measure to work directly in tables because of the context transictions and you can't use the value of a metric to name or calculate values within a table.

     

    Best option that I can see is if you are using a table with a specific number of columns you can use a measure to use has title on your visualization an it's kept changes accordingly or place two visual on top of each other.
