Using a graph title as a variable in a measure

Erik_K — Mon, 20 Dec 2021 21:02:46 GMT

I'm trying to make my chart content flexible and I want to incorporate the title of the chart in the set analysis.

This way I can copy the chart and chance the contents by changing it's title.

Is there a system variable which contains the chart title?

If I google, I only get hits for dynamically changing the chart title based on a variable. But that's not what I'm looking for.

Regards,

Erik

As far as I know, there is no way to access the chart title using set analysis (or any other way within a formula). Why not have one chart with the contents changing based on a field / button used to select the appropriate title and formulas? Seems more efficient than duplication and modification...

You can set the Title through a variable. The same variable can be used in the Set Analysis.

The value of the variable can be changed using events

Thanks for your reply. You're probably right about using a filter but a user just wants an overview which he can copy a set of tables with similar content easily to a PPT.

To limit my copy paste activities I thought of this solution. I still think it would be nice if this option is available.

I know, but I want to use it the other way around. Insert the title of a graph as a variable in a measure.

Unfortunately, it probably isn't... If the volume of objects is high enough, maybe you could update them with API or something of that nature.
