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.

Agreed - this would be really useful! I didn't see this idea until AFTER posting a similar one, for getting report name and page name.

RE: DAX functions that return Report Name and Page Name

Very surprised this idea gets so few votes. DAX currently provides NO report context information such as report name, current page name etc. Except perhaps the user name. The report context will be very useful in customizing reports.
