Dynamic measure name on matrix visual in Power BI

[ninochikovani77]

Hello,

I have a dynamic measure based on slicer and I have this measure on matrix visual. I have other several measures as well on this matrix visual but I want to dynamically change measure name only for the one measure based on this slicer.

To be more precise e.g. if on slicer I select 2024, I want to see the measure name like this - Measure Name 2024 and if I select 2025 on the slicer I want to show measure name as - Measure Name 2025. Could you please tell is it possible to do it and how?

Thank you in advance,

Nino

Hi. I can't really think in a way to make the measure name dynamic. It's not natively possible at power bi. You can do dynamic titles for visuals or dynamic card label maybe but the name in the measure is static. As an alternative maybe creating a measure for each year. Then when the year is not picked, show blank to make it disappear from the visual.

I hope that helps,

Hi @ninochikovani77 

Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Fabric Forum Community.

and also Thanks to @ibarrau  for Prompt and useful solution.

Just to clarify, it's not currently possible in Power BI to dynamically change the measure name (column header) in visuals like a matrix based on slicer selections measure names are static once added to a visual.

However, as a workaround, you could create separate measures for each slicer value (e.g., year) and use logic to show only the relevant one based on the slicer selection, while returning blank for others. This way, only one measure is visible at a time with the correct name (e.g., "Measure Name 2024" when 2024 is selected).

Let us know if you need further assistance , we’re happy to help. If this addressed your query, please consider marking the response as an Accepted Solution so it can assist others in the community as well.
