adding a text box or a card which displays the current section on a chart

Can anyone one help me with adding a text box or card which displays the current section.
as shown in the screenshot below, is there a way to display the year, quarter and the month selected from slicer.
in the example Year 2019 and Quarter 1 selected hence wanted to display it in a box so that when clipped to a dashboard user knows the current selection. Any help is greatly appreciated.

You can put the following measure in a card to get your desired result.  Replace with your table/column names.

 

Selected Year and Quarter = "Year - " & SELECTEDVALUE('Date'[Year]) & "
" & "Quarter - " & SELECTEDVALUE('Date'[Quarter])
 

If this works for you, please mark it as the solution.  Kudos are appreciated too.  Please let me know if not.
