Is there a way to use variables/calculated fields in Quicksight text fields?

Question

Hi!

Im new to the world of Quicksight and have been playing around with the features. I'm in charge of building out a customer facing dashboard and Id like to dynamically populate a text field with a variable or calculated field. I want it to say something like "you have been a customer with us since " where X is a date. Is this possible with Quicksight?

Thanks!

Answer

You probably could achieve this by adding an [insight](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/quicksight/latest/user/computational-insights.html) with [minimum computation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/quicksight/latest/user/minimum-function.html), which will fetch the lowest date, and using [dynamic default parameter](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/quicksight/latest/user/parameters-default-values.html) to filter that insight based on the user accessing your dashboard so it shows the date for that specific user.
