It would be very nice to be able to have an expression value in the Rename for this Visual menu item so that measure names in a visual could be dynamic. This way, you can dynamically put measures in a visual using parameter harvesting and have a column header that matches what the user has selected.

RE: Dynamic Column Headers/Measure Names
Just got the same customer request today, i.e. to show different column headers based on a filter (dropdown filter) settings.I tried to overcome using field parameters but they I will have all field parameter columns shown when no selection is doneI also tried using bookmarks and show different visuals but that didn't work either since the filter needs to be a dropdown filterThis should be quite a simple change I would say. No need to advertise it using the function (fx) icon either, a right click on the measure will also work
RE: Dynamic Column Headers/Measure Names
Currently, the only way to do it is through a Field Parameter, although this means having to duplicate the field and rename it each time, which is really bad in terms of optimization.
RE: Dynamic Column Headers/Measure Names
Qlik Sense has it. I don't understand why PowerBI doesn't. It's critical in order to make understandable the name of the measure and give the PowerBI app a better look&feel. Come on, you've already late!
