I’m building a QBR dashboard in QuickSight and need help with dynamic column headers based on a single parameter selection.
Current setup:
I have a table with multiple columns
Created a parameter for ‘Current Quarter’ (example: 2025-Q4)
Added it as a control for user selection
Goal: When a user selects the Current Quarter (e.g., 2025-Q4), I need the following headers to automatically update:
Month_1, Month_2, Month_3 (should show the actual months within the selected quarter)
Q-1 (previous quarter, e.g., 2025-Q3)
Y-1 (same quarter previous year, e.g., 2024-Q4)
Is there a way to achieve this using calculated fields without adding additional controls? Looking for the most efficient solution where users only need to select the Current Quarter.
Hi @Joana_Alves and welcome to the Quick Community!
In terms of assigning column headers dynamically, the options within Quick are fairly limited.
While you can create fields to dynamically display values in your columns, the actual column headers are limited to either custom text or values from a parameter. I’d suggest creating parameters for your months that will be used by column headers but you can’t set a parameter value through another parameter (your current quarter parameter), so I don’t believe this is currently possible.
Since this is a current limitation, I’ll go ahead and tag this as a feature request to promote visibility to the AWS support team.
Since we have not heard back from you, I’ll go ahead and close/archive this topic. However, if you have any additional questions, feel free to create a new topic in the community and link this discussion for relevant information.
