Is it possible to create a measure that ignores all filters except those from the visual?

I have this graph which compares the currently filtered % counts of users vs those of the population.

The measures are:

Unique User Count = Calculate(DISTINCTCOUNT(UserData[user_id]))

and

Population = CALCULATE([Unique User Count],ALLEXCEPT('UserData','Savings Bucket Orders'[Savings Buckets]))

I need to reproduce this kind of graph multiple times for different x-axis of interest, I was wondering if there was a way to have something like

Population = CALCULATE([Unique User Count],ALLEXCEPT('UserData','Columns_in_visual'))

which I can reuse in every graph instead of having to create a new measure for each of them.

All attempts I've tried remove everything in the filter context which isn't what I'm after.

Thanks!

Tuame , I doubt you can make a dynamic list of columns like that as of now.

You can create an idea https://ideas.powerbi.com/ideas/

I imagined as much, but wanted to ask people who are smarter than me haha - I'll leave the thread open a bit longer in case someone has a smart idea but if not I'll mark as a solution. Thanks for your reply!
