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.

Bump, could really use this. Example:


Switch for page name, if = x page name then dax measure calculating period selected is filtered appropriately based on fact table (multi fact table model)

we want to show a responsible person on each page. Instead of adding them manually to each page, we want to have a single table with report page and name. On each report we want to filter that table with the own reportname and have that person shown automatically.

With the tmdl files (we really like them!) we can crawl all our pages and fill that table with all reportnames, so half of the work is done automatically.

To enhance debugging and efficiently identify reports users reference, we propose implementing the following DAX measures:

  1. Report Name in Footer – This measure will dynamically display the report title in the footer. When users report issues and share screenshots, the exact report can be identified, allowing developers to quickly locate and resolve any concerns.
  2. Semantic Model Information – This measure will retrieve the semantic model linked to the report. Understanding which dataset powers the report helps in diagnosing data-related issues and ensuring the correct model is being used.
  3. Workspace Information – This measure will capture and display the workspace in which the report is being accessed. This is crucial for identifying the environment, permissions, and versioning differences that may affect report behavior.

Implementing these measures will streamline troubleshooting and improve user support by providing essential report details upfront.

Glad this idea already exists; could definitely use more votes though. Tell your coworkers!
