Bar chart with selected categories + "Other" bar

[tt211595]

Hello, I'm trying to create a bar chart showing counts by category (for selected categories) and a bar for "Other" for unselected categories.

If I have this table called SampleTable:

ID	Country
1	Germany
2	France
3	Germany
4	India
5	China
6	Ghana

If I were to create a bar chart with counts for each country, there would be 5 bars (Germany, France, India, China, Ghana) showing counts (each bar is 1 except Germany, which is 2). 

I would like to create a dropdown slicer based on VALUES(SampleTable[Country]) so that the user can select countries. If the user selects Germany and India from the dropdown, I would like the bar chart to show 3 bars: Germany (count value = 2), India (value = 1), and Other (value = 3), where Other represents the count for the unselected countries combined.

Is this possible? I am able to group the selected countries into a single bar and the un-selected countries into a single bar, but I would like to show a bar for each of the selected countries (instead of combining those). Thank you!!
