Slicer to select legend variable

Does anyone know of a way to use a slicer to select which variable is used as a legend.


For example, if I want to show population stats, split by age, region or sex at the moment I need 3 donut charts, one for each grouping variable. What I want to be able to do is just have one donut chart and then enable the user to select which of the three variables the data is grouped by.

@Anonymous,

 

See the article below. The concept is to create a disconnected table that contains the three groupings (age/region/sex), and create a SWITCH measure that chooses the appropriate measure to display based on the user's selection.
