Title Change of a Column name in Straight table

Hi Team,

I have requirement to change the title of a column when user click on button

Button - '=WildMatch([Priority],''Undefined'')=0' (using toggle field function under actions)

Not sure how to i change the Column title from 2023 YTD to Priority YTD when user clicks on the above button.

I did try to create a variable vPriorty equal 1

and in label used =if([vPriorty ]=1 ,'2023 YTD', if([vPriorty ]=2,'Priority YTD')) but unable to get what's expected

Appreciate your time and support in advance.

Can you give me a sample data in Excel? or give me random data which is similar to yours.

Can you provide the details a bit more clearly? Is the button used to select the values in a field? or Is the button used to change variable's value?

Sure,

I am using a button called Priority to filter certain values using Toggle selection where Field value = Priority

'=WildMatch([Priority],''Undefined'')=0' excluding everything with a field which is been tagged as Undefined.

Now my requirement is that currently in a table i would be showing all values for 2023 YTD (including Priority + Undefined)

the moment user clicks on Priority button he would be seeing only values related to priority which is working fine.

But to avoid confusion i would like to change the column header from 2023 YTD to Priority YTD.

Currently i defined variable as vPriority = 1

and in lable expression of the value using as if([vPriorty ]=1 ,'2023 YTD', if([vPriorty ]=2,'Priority YTD'))

Please do let me know if you need more details.

I guess there's no relation between button and variable value.
Try add one more action in button properties. 'Set variable value'

Select the corresponding variable and assign the value as 2.

In field label, use the following script.

if($(vPriority) = 1, '2023 YTD', 'Priority YTD')

I have setup already as mentioned above. but still its working 

if($(vPriority) = 1, '2023 YTD', 'Priority YTD')

when Clicked or not its just showing only one title '2023 YTD'. Not sure why the second condition is getting failed.

Hi Lokesh,

I fixed it, it worked when i setup like below

Variable setup

vPriority = 0

Button - Set variable variable 

Variable - 'vPriorty' and value  = if($(vPriority)=1,0,1)
