Using Columns within Slicer

Hi all

I want to use a slicer to impact the data in a visual, but I can't figure it out! 

 

As the data stands at the moment I have three columns:

Team1Team2Total
01010
51520
10515
15015

What I'd like to do is show the total in the chart as default, but then use the slicer to display the relevant team when selected. Because of the size of the data table, I can't realistically have two or three lines of data per record. I've tried using in hierarchy, but I can't get that to work.

 

Do any of you have any ideas please?

 

Thanks in advance.

Unpivot your data.

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMlDSUTI0UIrViVYyBTFNwUxDkDCUCRIGKogFAA==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Team1 = _t, Team2 = _t]),
    #"Unpivoted Columns" = Table.UnpivotOtherColumns(Source, {}, "Attribute", "Value"),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Unpivoted Columns",{{"Value", Int64.Type}})
in
    #"Changed Type"
