How to select a column instead of a measure at a drop down slicer not using the field parameter

I'm create a visualisation for multiple metrics on Y metric currenctly using calculation groups,  And X axis are values based on different time periods ( Monthly,Daily,weekly) coming from a time table. also because this is based on live connection can not use field parameters.

Now I'm trying to place a switchable value at the X axis of the visualisation that built on multiple  time stamp columns .

I know there are many solutions like the measure slicer or calculations group but they are taking measures. 

Is there any work around it to create a dynamic visualisation Axis  based on a time column not a measure?

Thank you,

@amitchandak@Greg_Deckler
