Dynamic Column Labels based on Selected Filter

Rohan Malik Aug 8, 2016 6:06 AM

Dear All,

I have a requirement where I need to populate Column Labels dynamically based on Selected Filter values. Attached workbook for your reference.

Instead of "View" and View2" as Column Labels it should display the values selected by respective filters "ViewBy" and "ViewBy2".

Regards

Rohan

One fiddly way of doing this would be to put the table on a dashboard and 'float' the parameters over the field headers. The user can then select the field to display directly in the table.

It would look like this:

Hello Tharashasank,

I do need dynamic labeling for the Dimensions which are changing based on selected Parameter. I had attached the worksheet earlier. I am not able to achieve that.

Hello Andrew,

Thanks but there are likely the chances that these float parameters may not visual at correct place when seen the reports on different laptop screens. Also I do have Collapse/Expand also on the Dimension columns.

Rohan
