Is there a way to make column headings on the DOMO table cards dynamic?
I have several DOMO [mega] table cards that display data in numerous columns, including a column for last month, this month, next month, and the month after next. Every month I need to go in to the beastmodes and change the title to reflect the change in months. The beastmode formula/data automatically reflects the change in months, but the title of the beastmode does not. I am aware that the data label can be changed in Analyzer, but that too is a manual process and no different than changing the beastmode title. On one card, some of the different column headings are: |July|August|September|October|. Next month, I will need to manually change those four beastmode titles to: |August|September|October|November. Is there a way to make the column headings on a table card dynamic?

@charles , typically we'll see users have Current Month and Previous Month as column titles.
you could still adopt @MichelleH 's suggestion if you limit your dataset via filters to the "last x months" then you can still display months in your columns, and the data filter restricts you to the correct set of months.

A pivot table would work if I needed the same column in the table for each month, however, I need different columns to be listed. Thank you for the suggestion.

You could consider using the transpose property on the mega table, which essentially pivots your data without writing beast modes. It would turn something like this:

Great ideas. I am still playing with them, and I think I can get it to work modifying Michelle's idea with jaeW's idea. I will also see if the transpose idea will work, although I am less optimistic, as the table needs to have many different columns. Thanks for the help!
