When you apply filters to your chart, such as filtering by month, having a static title like “January Sales” can be misleading if you later select February in your filter. What you really need is a title that changes dynamically based on your filter selection.

Here’s how to do it:

On the Home tab in the ribbon, click New measure. A formula cell will appear starting with Measure =. Replace Measure with something descriptive, such as Dynamic_Title.
Write the formula that defines how you want the title to change. For example:
```
Dynamic_Title = "Sales for " & SELECTEDVALUE(Sales[Month], "All Months")
```
- SELECTEDVALUE(Sales[Month]) returns the currently selected month from your filter.
- If no month is selected, it defaults to “All Months”.
Click the check mark on the left side of the formula cell to confirm.
In the Visualizations panel, click Card (the icon shows the number 123). A rectangular text box will appear on your report.
From the Data panel, drag the Dynamic_Title measure into the card. The dynamic title text will now appear inside the card.

Your chart now has a dynamic title that updates automatically according to the filter selections.
