Can active Filter info be embedded in a visual?

Is it possible to embed the active filter info into a visual (as in the highlight in the capture)?  This would help with dashboard creation and use, especially if the same visual is put into a dashboard multiple times with different filter criteria applied to each.  I know this can be done when copying and pasting a visual out of the service, but I want to have the same info visible within a visual that is in a dashboard.

    And the other problem is that you have to specify every filter individually, which can be a real problem if there are dozens of filters.  This solves that problem using DAX Studio.  Take the results they put into a tooltip, and instead put that measure into the subtitle.  Voila!

      Unfortunately, that appears to try to solve the problem by creating a second visual dedicated only to showing the filter info. However, you led me to a solution that keeps the filter info in the main visual.  Using your DAX, the measure can be added within a visual via the subtitle function in the Visualizations Pane>Format>General>Subtitle option.
