In short: I want to (effectively) choose the COLUMN within any given visual by using a slicer or parameter. [End]
My specific situation "in long": Let's say I have Map visual. For the location data field, I have a column that contains zip codes. I have another column in the table that tells whether that Zip code is closer to New York City, or if that Zip code is closer to Los Angeles. I have another column in the table that tells whether the Zip code is closer to New York City, or if it is closer to Dallas Texas. Like this:
| Zip | | NYC or LA | | NYC or Dal |
| 23158 | | NYC | | NYC |
| 36821 | | LA | | DAL |
| 18632 | | NYC | | DAL |
I want the bubble representing the zip code to change color based on which city is closest. So I can put "NYC or LA" in the Legend spot on my visual, or I can put "NYC or Dal" in that spot. But I cannot put both. I want to be able to switch between the two using a slicer or parameter. So the Zip 18632 would change color after changing the slicer. [End]
I know you can do something SIMILAR to this using measures. Specifically, the SELECTEDVALUE() function. However, I need a row by row value. Context can be applied automatically when used in the correct visual, but I need a Map.
I attempted this tutorial. But despite the title, it just doesn't work for columns.

I am open to any ideas. If it would work by using a single column "NYC or NEW" and the column could be re-evaluated based on a slicer, that would work. The data is completely open to modification.
