How to pin visual with dynamic title visible in dashboard?

Hi all,

 

I have created a line chart visual in PowerBI Desktop. I created a card visual with a dynamic title based on the filters I made in the PowerBI Report.  (as described here: https://blog.crossjoin.co.uk/2016/04/25/dynamic-chart-titles-in-power-bi/ )

The card is placed on top of the line chart visual so it looks like the chart has a dynamic title (but actually its another visual, the card..)

 

When I publish the report to the cloud, i would like to pin the line chart visual WITH the dynamic title (card) on a dashboard. But this is not possible i believe? How can i "group" 2 or more visuals together and place them the same way on the dashboard?

Pinning live-page will not work, because my report is to 'big' with headers and filters..

 

Hope one of you can help.

 

Kind regards.

Hi, this is now possible.

 

1) create the dynamic title measure

2) go to title options

3) click on the three dots above title text

4) add measure

 

Cheers

I do not believe that is not going to work. You would need to pin the card visual but when you do that, it is pinned as is and does not change dynamically.

Hi Greg, thanks for your quick response. It's not necessary to change it dynamically in he dashboard, because when filtering in the report before pinning the visual the filters will be included in the dashboard visual (with correct card title).  

 

The problem is: i placed the card with dynamic title in the report as if it looks like it's the title of the line chart visual. But actually its a separate visual.  When pinning the line chart visual the card won't be pinned. I have to pin the card to the dashboard too, but then it does not look pretty.. I searching for a way to multi-select visuals and pin it as a 'group' to the dashboard.

 

I already voted for this idea https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/11121882-dynamic-chart-titles-and... but dont think it will be implemented in the near future..

 

Yeah, I get what you are trying to do but you are correct, it is not going to look very good. The best you could do would be to pin the card visual as well and shrink it vertically and put it above your other visual, but I'm sure you've already done that and it doesn't look like you want it to.

True, i will try some more things, thanks!

Hi @Anonymous,

 

As of now, it is not possible to group multiple visuals and pin them as an entire tile on dashboard. Maybe you could pin live page to dashboard.
