DAX functions that return Report Name and Page Name

Please create two new DAX functions, like GetReportName () and GetPageName () . In embedded environment, we're letting customers make copies of reports (they supply the report name), and we let them edit pages (name and content). Instead of hard-coding the report name or page name, it would be ideal to use these functions so that the values automatically change as report/page names change. Thanks.

Very surprised this idea gets so few votes. DAX currently provides NO report context information such as report name, current page name etc. Except perhaps the user name. The report context will be very useful in customizing reports.

Agreed - this would be really useful! I didn't see this idea until AFTER posting a similar one, for getting report name and page name. https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/37114474-dax-functions-that-return-report-name-and-page-nam

Would really like this feature also, that way I don't have to automatically update the name of the report in two places (the tab name and also in the actual report)

I would like to be able to use the Current Report Name in DAX measures so I can apply different DAX code depending on the report. Therefor I will be able to create one measure but set different filters in the measure depending on the report name.

It would be helpful to have not just report name but also workspace (name/id) functions, and have them accessible in Power BI Paginated Reports.

I was expecting this basic feature to be there as we have path and wd or pwd in other languages. In my scenario I have a list of measures which changes a bit on each page. no of pages 7 no of measure 3 Now, I have to create 21 measures for the same job and make sure the correct page gets the correct formula. Havin this would be nice as I can just do a switch case and use the formula.

This would also be really useful in scenario when you have multiple reports from same tabular model and you would need to assign different row filter on different reports for user group. Would make life a lot easier with the permission for data like this. This functionality is already available in other reporting products.

Definitely something that is needed, wanted and required. Needs more support!

Yes, please give us APPID(), APPNAME(), DATASETID(), DATASETNAME(), REPORTID(), REPORTNAME(), PAGEID(), PAGENAME(), WORKSPACEID(), and WORKSPACENAME() functions in DAX!
