Please create two new DAX functions, like GetReportName () and GetPageName () . In embedded environment, we're letting customers make copies of reports (they supply the report name), and we let them edit pages (name and content). Instead of hard-coding the report name or page name, it would be ideal to use these functions so that the values automatically change as report/page names change. Thanks.

RE: DAX functions that return Report Name and Page Name
we want to show a responsible person on each page. Instead of adding them manually to each page, we want to have a single table with report page and name. On each report we want to filter that table with the own reportname and have that person shown automatically.With the tmdl files (we really like them!) we can crawl all our pages and fill that table with all reportnames, so half of the work is done automatically.
RE: DAX functions that return Report Name and Page Name
Bump, could really use this. Example: Switch for page name, if = x page name then dax measure calculating period selected is filtered appropriately based on fact table (multi fact table model)
RE: DAX functions that return Report Name and Page Name
Yes, I could use this too!
RE: DAX functions that return Report Name and Page Name
Yes, please give us APPID(), APPNAME(), DATASETID(), DATASETNAME(), REPORTID(), REPORTNAME(), PAGEID(), PAGENAME(), WORKSPACEID(), and WORKSPACENAME() functions in DAX!
RE: DAX functions that return Report Name and Page Name
Definitely something that is needed, wanted and required. Needs more support!
RE: DAX functions that return Report Name and Page Name
This would also be really useful in scenario when you have multiple reports from same tabular model and you would need to assign different row filter on different reports for user group. Would make life a lot easier with the permission for data like this. This functionality is already available in other reporting products.
RE: DAX functions that return Report Name and Page Name
I was expecting this basic feature to be there as we have path and wd or pwd in other languages.
In my scenario I have a list of measures which changes a bit on each page.
no of pages 7
no of measure 3
Now, I have to create 21 measures for the same job and make sure the correct page gets the correct formula.
Havin this would be nice as I can just do a switch case and use the formula.
RE: DAX functions that return Report Name and Page Name
It would be helpful to have not just report name but also workspace (name/id) functions, and have them accessible in Power BI Paginated Reports.
RE: DAX functions that return Report Name and Page Name
I would like to be able to use the Current Report Name in DAX measures so I can apply different DAX code depending on the report. Therefor I will be able to create one measure but set different filters in the measure depending on the report name.
RE: DAX functions that return Report Name and Page Name
Would really like this feature also, that way I don't have to automatically update the name of the report in two places (the tab name and also in the actual report)
