Dynamic title for slicer

[Irfan_2020]

Hi forks,

Hope u r doing well... I am facing this problem in slicer from past few days in power Bi. 

1st

First Image; Its a Default image of the Data showing Category, Sub category without using the filter and the all the data is unselected.

2nd

Second Image; In this part of filter I have selected Category FURNITURE & the title for the sub category also changes. As I have written a DAX function for Dynamic title.

3rd

Third Image; In this part.... I am selecting Chairs in the Sub Category but the title for sub category is not changing & the slicer of OFFICE SUPPLIES & TECHNOLOGY is visible. I want to disable OFFICE SUPPLIERS & TECHNOLOGY in the slicers.

Is it possible for the Slicer title to change while selecting the sub category. Slicer title should be FURNITURE when selecting sub category chair. (OR)

Is it possible for the slicer to change from default to FURNITURE while selecting the sub category CHAIR. 

Is there any DAX functions or some settings.

Hi @Irfan_2020 ,

According to your description, if you want to change the title dynamically by the Title conditional fomatting in the Formatting pane like below, by my test, it can't be achieved. 

Because in the chart title conditional formatting, the SELECTEDVALUE can only return when it's been filtered but not been highlighted, you can create a simple code "SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Sub-category])" to verify.

Additonally, there's another problem, a chart/table can't filter a slicer anyway, you can give more examples to verify it.

As for now, my workaroud is to change the category slicer to a table visual and create a card visual above the chart title then group them. Follow the steps:

1.Change the category slicer to a table visual, and the interaction type from category table to chart should be filter, but not hightlight.

2.Create a measure.

Title =
"Sales by Sub-category of "
    & IF (
        SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Sub-category] ) <> BLANK (),
        SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Sub-category] ),
        IF (
            ISFILTERED ( 'Table'[Category] ),
            SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Category] ),
            "overall Category"
        )
    )

Put it in a card visual, change the font size and turn off the category label.

3.Put the card visual above the chart, select them at the same time, right click and select Group.

4.Get the result.

I attach my sample below for reference.

Hi @Irfan_2020 ,

You can create a simple measure and use it as title for your slicer.

Example:

Slicer Title = SELECTEDVALUE(Sales[Product Category])

In the selectedvalue choose the column with Category.

If you want you can also show a message when no filter is applied, like:

Slicer Title = IF
ISFILTERED(Sales[Product Category]),
SELECTEDVALUE(Sales[Product Category]),
"All Categories"
)
