Good information, thankssehackear.top
RE: Dynamic Column Names in a table
Much needed feature.
RE: Dynamic Column Names in a table
This is much needed feature today as other tools like qlik have option to easily modify column names based on any expression..
RE: Dynamic Column Names in a table
How is this not a standard feature? Seems very basic and much needed!
RE: Dynamic Column Names in a table
Dynamic column name based on selected slicer values is an essential functionality. Please provide this feature as soon as possible. Many other reporting tools do provide this functionality by default.
RE: Dynamic Column Names in a table
Having dynamic column names in the table visual is a real useful feature and would really help. Most requirments will need dynamic column names, I just don't understand why this not up there as a default feature.
RE: Dynamic Column Names in a table
6 years later, still not possible to use selection as column names while qlik had this since 2011.I prefer pbi in every way but this and absolutely need it for work as I need to be clear to the business about the years, weeks etc instead of current week, last week ... It's such a simple idea, logical to use but so hard to actually use. You can use current date and calculating from now this year month etc, but when selecting previous years its not yet possible..Please add this❤️
RE: Dynamic Column Names in a table
We have some "user defined" fields in our system with names "udf1", "udf2" etc and we give the ability to each customer to configure the "udf" fields names i.e. "Test Column1 Name", "Test Column1 Name" etcWhen those fields appear in the PowerBI report we need them to appear with each customer's configuration names instead of "udf1", "udf2"Very very useful feature!!
RE: Dynamic Column Names in a table
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.

This seems to be important for many, there are already a bunch of similar/duplicated ideas:https://ideas.powerbi.com/ideas/idea/?ideaid=cbf46865-22e7-ec11-b5cf-501ac5248c93https://ideas.powerbi.com/ideas/idea/?ideaid=6b80e7fb-8faa-ec11-826d-281878e63983https://ideas.powerbi.com/ideas/idea/?ideaid=08c32d62-5fba-eb11-89ee-281878de0321(likely more)
