Dynamically assigning column header labels based on slicer selection is a very useful functionality and I hope PowerBI introduces this. I have seen it implemented in other BI tools and it is a very useful one.

Yes, this function is simple yet very useful.For example, if we choose a Year "2022" in a slicer, then the column name shall be something like "2022 Actual Sales".If 2021 is selected, then the column name shall be displayed as "2021 Actual Sales"This functionality is so simple but add a lot of clarity for users.

It is utterly astounding that you can't do this in Power BI. An absolute basic of reporting is last 3 - 6 months stuff. I can abstract the data model, but labelling the table columns correctly is a must!!

RE: Dynamic Column Header Title in Matrix Visual

Dynamic headers would be ideal. My filters allow months and years to change. For example - If I'm looking at March 2022 vs March 2021 and change the comparison column measure filter to March 2019 (pre-covid) I need the column to show what month and year I'm reviewing.
