Dax Measure names are currently static and when added to a table or matrix there is no way to dynamically change the measure or column name.
using SELECTEDVALUE a user is able to change the context of a measure to show for example Actuals, Budget or Forecast but the measure name remains static. This is not very user friendly since we are not providing the end-user with a clear context if the measure can be modified by SELECTEDVALUE but the measure name does not provide a matching context.
If the measure name or column name had the ability to be calculated in a similar fashion, Power BI developers would have the ability to dynamically change the display name accordingly and create a smooth and dynamic user experience.
Dynamic column names are available both in Qlik products and Tableau and would be an extremely useful feature to have in Power BI!

RE: Dax calculated measure name / Dynamic column headers
Such a basic yet extremely powerful piece of functionality. This would be a huge win if this were to be implemented in Power BI soon.
RE: Dax calculated measure name / Dynamic column headers
This will immensely help us. There is no way for us to show dynamic headers and clients have been requesting this from us for a while now.
RE: Dax calculated measure name / Dynamic column headers
As someone who uses dynamic columns constantly, this would be a huge step forward. My users are likely getting tired of seeing columns named "Selected Metric", etc.
RE: Dax calculated measure name / Dynamic column headers
Perhaps this could be achieved by assigning an ALIAS to the measure field
