Changing the visual titles dynamically based on filter selection

Hi team
I have a filter control with drop down values as weekly, monthly, daily, yearly (user can select one value at a time). I know i can call this parameter in the visual title & change the title dynamically accoding to the selection made in the filter.

But what i would like to achieve is when you select Weekly in filter control, it should show week over week in the visual title, similarly, when you select monthly, it should show month over month. Likewise, it should show accodingly for other two values as well. Is there a way to achieve this? Or any other workarounds? Appreciate your help.

Hi @lalprasanth

One approach here can be to add a calculated field that takes the chosen parameter as input and provides the corresponding output. You can then use that calculated field in the visual’s title.

@awsvig But can we implement a calculated field in a visual title? I see that i can only add parameters to the visual titles. May be i am wrong, let me know

@lalprasanth - A workaround for that will be to use free-form layout and overlay a visual (like a word cloud) that displays the calculated field near the visual title. In the dashboard, it will look like the calculated field is part of the visual title itself.

Since i am using classic layout, this solution won’t work. Thank you.

Got it. Having the ability to add calculated fields in visual title can be helpful. At AWS, our roadmap is primarily driven by our customers. Your feedback helps us build a better service. I have tagged this as a feature request.
