Using Query Value in Label

hi

 

i have a Query that captures the file location of a file used.  I would like to extract the filename ONLY and put that in a label (measure?) on the Dashboard.

so if the filename was Test.xlsx (i scratched out the real name in the image), i would like to add this name to a label as the name of the Dashboard report.  I dont want the long URL, just the filename also without the .xlsx.

please let me know how i can do this either thru Power Query or DAX.

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

You can try to get data->folder in powerbi desktop and then use extract function in power query to separate out the file names.
