  • I was hoping Field Parameters could be used to quickly solve this but the result wasn't quite what you requested.  Instead I put your Categories into a table and added a measure to extract the values from your table.

    1. Category table (DAX), Seq should be used as sorting column:

    Categories = DATATABLE(
        "Category", STRING,
        "Seq", INTEGER,
        {
            {"Total Sales", 1},
            {"Branch 1 Sales", 2},
            {"Branch 2 Sales", 3},
            {"Total Order Qty", 4},
            {"Total Delivery", 5},
            {"File Qty", 6}
        }
    )

    2. Measure (DAX):

    Measure = SWITCH(SELECTEDVALUE(Categories[Category]),
        "Total Sales", SUM('Table'[Total Sales]),
        "Branch 1 Sales", SUM('Table'[Branch 1 Sales]),
        "Branch 2 Sales", SUM('Table'[Branch 2 Sales]),
        "Total Order Qty", SUM('Table'[Total Order Qty]),
        "Total Delivery", SUM('Table'[Total Delivery]),
        "File Qty", SUM('Table'[File Qty])
    )

    3. Use Clustered Column Chart visual with 'Categories'[Category] as x-axis, 'Categories'[Measure] as y-axis and 'Table'[Month] as legend.

    In Power Query, if you select the first column (Date?) and choose Unpivot other columns, you will get 3 columns that can be pulled on to a column chart to get what you want
