Dynamic header text refresh issue

PreetiTiwari2608 — Fri, 09 Oct 2026 09:42:20 GMT

We are creating dynamic header text based on date field.

The date in the input control updates to the current date as expected. However, when the input control measure is used within a calculated measure, the date does not update dynamically.

I guess you need to show some example to set the context else its a bit difficult to answer.

Dear PreetiTiwari2608,

Hope you are well. Thank you for your message.

To address this scenario effectively, it is recommended reviewing the following points to ensure a resolution:

Whether this story is based on the import data connection model or live data connection model? If it is based on import data connection model, whether the date dimension is "User-managed" date dimension or "System-managed" date dimension?
Whether this date input control refers to the custom current date defined when creating the restricted measure?
Whether this dynamic text is defined in table header? If yes, could you please kindly try defining the dynamic text in table header based on Story Properties "Current Date" and check whether it can meet the requirement?
If it is required to define the dynamic calculation description based on calculation input control, could you please kindly check whether it can work as expected when defining the "Filter by Member" date calculation input control?

Thank you for your time.

Best wishes,

Lena

Hi, based on SAP KBA 3783743, this appears to be a known limitation in SAC.

The Calculation Input Control correctly updates to the new System Date, but the calculated measure description does not dynamically refresh to reflect the updated date when the story is loaded. This explains why the date in the input control is correct while the table column heading continues to display the previous date.

Thanks.
