How to filter duplicate columns with same filter values separately in matrix visualization -PowerBI

Hi Experts,

 

I have a table named sales with three columns: 1)QuaterYear 2)Place 3)SalesAmount-scenarioA.

 

I have duplicated the column 'SalesAmount-scenarioA' and named it 'SalesAmount-scenarioB in modelling view of PowerBI.I have added 2 filters for values QuaterYear with name QuaterYearscenarioA and QuaterYearscenarioB in my visualization .

 

I want my filters to filter these two duplicate columns seperately in the table visualization as if they are two different columns and they arent related to each other.For example: if I filter the first column 'SalesAmount-scenarioA' then the values of SalesAmount-scenarioB'should not change.Rightnow if I select any value in first filter the second filter gets preselected and both the column values gets changed. Though I understand why it happens but my reuirement is to filter both these columns independently. In other words like implementing filter columns in table visualization, since powerBI doesnt have one so I am trying to workaround.

 

This will help me to compare the values through filter for different Quateryear for different scenarios.

 

How can I handle this case , is there any DAX Calculations or measures you could provide me which I can try? Please help. I have added my input data values for reference .
