We like to change chart or axis titles dynamically, for example in what currency is the chart displayed based on the country selection from slicer. There are more need where titles should change automatically.

RE: Dynamic Chart Titles and Axis Titles

Dynamic titles, which can change based on user selected filters would enhance the developer and user experience. E.g. "Sales Created Today" vs "Sales Created Yesterday" where the last word is changing based on a selected filter. The common workaround of creating a calculated measure, adding it to a card and turning off the proper title causes an issue when viewing the chart on a cell phone. When focusing on the chart the user can see "Untitled" at the top of the page.

I strongly agree with being able to use a measure for the title, so when a filter is changed, the title changes. For example, we use a lot of country reports, the report and chart titles should change as we change the country filter.

Yes! This gets to be very important when you start using URLs for dynamic filtering. The chart titles also need to be able to adapt dynamically. Chris Webb had a nice post on this, I can write the measure, I just dont have a good way to display it within the correct visual. Chris gives a work around but that will not work long term.

Please fix.

Exactly, as Anonymous commeted, the real improvemet would be permitting custom measure as title, so that the designer can have total control on the title, and don't having to fake it with and addiotional card visual.

RE: Dynamic Chart Titles and Axis Titles

An example I want to display transaction sales with options like: Day, Week, Month, Year. If customer clicks Day the sales should show the information based on last 24 hrs only, if they click Week only last 7 days , Month last 30 days and year should be Month based. It will be nice if we can customize the options

RE: Dynamic Chart Titles and Axis Titles

I also would like to say that we should be able to assign measures to titles, and perhaps this is what is meant by "dynamic".
